The pool has been doing a splashing trade since reopening with Covid-safe measures.

Swimming is now pre-booked up to a week in advance and the pool has three lanes, each with a maximum of five swimmers grouped by speed. Swimming sessions last an hour – up to 40 minutes in the pool and 20 minutes for arriving and leaving the building, including showering and changing.
