During term time, a lot of our day here is spent hosting school swimming lessons, however, we do have lots of public sessions at other times to keep you going. See our timetable for details
Our sessions are 1 hour long for two reasons. First, it gives the lifeguards time to clean down and grab a rest on hot days (meaning we comply with national regulations) and second, it means that by running multiple sessions we are able to try our best to ensure that everyone who wants to swim that day will get the opportunity to.
Absolutely, we are open 7 days a week rain or shine. The only weather we close for is during lightning storms where we must clear the pool for 30 minutes following every clap of thunder. Equally, sometimes during heavy rain, we ask bathers to stay in the shallower parts of the pool. This is because heavy rain distorts the surface of the water, preventing lifeguards from being able to see the bottom of the pool.
We are open every day for heated swims from 24 May to 7 September 2025. Please check out our timetable and sessions pages for details
Nope not at all, we still do things the old-fashioned way. Feel free to just rock up just before one of our sessions. During the summer holidays and in periods of good weather, we have been known to get very busy, so turning up early to get your place in the line could be an idea.
