When it is open

Which is the question that actually matters.

A Y gets used around shift work and school runs, so the hours belong on the front page rather than three clicks in.

Monday to Friday5:00am to 9:00pmLap swim from opening, before most people start work.
Saturday6:00am to 5:00pmFamily swim and youth programming through the middle of the day.
Sunday7:00am to 5:00pmQuieter, and the best morning of the week for a first visit.

What is here

Six things, and one of them is why you came.

Swimming

Lessons from infants upward, lap lanes, and the programme most families join for.

Fitness

Floor, classes and equipment, open from 5am on weekdays.

Youth and childcare

Before and after school, plus holiday camps, for families who need the hours covered.

Camps

School holiday programmes that run all day rather than a couple of hours.

Community programmes

Service above self, which is the part that is funded rather than sold.

Membership

For every age, with financial assistance available so cost is not the reason somebody stays out.

Come and look round on a Sunday morning.

Quiet enough to see the building properly and busy enough to see who uses it. Ask about financial assistance at the desk; that is what it is there for.

Before you visit

The questions families ask.

Do I have to be a member to use it?

Membership gets you the building and the schedule, but programmes and lessons are open more widely, and financial assistance exists precisely so that cost is not the reason a family stays out. Ask at the front desk rather than assuming.

How early does the pool open?

Five in the morning on weekdays. Lap swim before work is one of the busiest parts of the week and it is the reason the doors open that early.

What ages do the swim lessons cover?

From infants up. Learn-to-swim is the single largest programme here, and in a town on the water it is closer to a safety service than a hobby.

Can I look round before joining?

Yes, and Sunday morning is the honest time to do it: quiet enough to see the building properly and busy enough to see who uses it.
