Question 1

Do I need to book to swim?

Accepted Answer

Booking is not currently required for our general swimming sessions - simply come along and pay on arrival. However, booking is required for swimming lessons, private hire and special events.During busy periods, particularly the school holidays and warm weather, sessions can be very popular, so we recommend arriving early to secure your space.

Question 2

When are you open?

Accepted Answer

Our heated summer season runs annually, from May to September. Please check our timetable for our current opening dates, swimming sessions and times.

Question 3

Are you open when it rains?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We are open rain or shine, so don't let a little Devon drizzle put you off.The pool may temporarily close during thunderstorms. For safety reasons, the pool must be cleared for a period of time following thunder or lightning. During very heavy rain, we may also ask swimmers to remain in the shallower areas of the pool if visibility is reduced.

Question 4

Why are the sessions an hour long, with a 30 minute gap between sessions?

Accepted Answer

Our sessions are 1 hour long to allow us to run a varied timetable and give as many people as possible the opportunity to swim.The break between sessions also allows our lifeguards time to complete safety and cleaning checks and take appropriate rest breaks, particularly during busy or hot days.

Question 5

Why are there limited public sessions during the working day?

Accepted Answer

During term time, we host a large number of school swimming lessons and other activities during the day. We therefore focus our public swimming sessions around these bookings, with a range of sessions available before and after school, as well as at weekends and during the school holidays.
