Lanes are maxed at 6 per lane to reduce congestion. Cost per session is £5 for a half an hour swim per swimmer and £6.50 for a half an hour swim per swimmer. Swims are within the operation of our Swimschool but the lane is open to just General Adult Lane Swimming. There is always at least one lifeguard present on shift with other swim teachers and assistants holding the pool safety award to help increase safety for all users.
