Swim Times
(Sign-in)
We
suggest teams arrive at the Leisure Centre 30 minutes before their
allocated swim time to allow for team registration, and for swimmers to
change into their swim wear.
Each
team will start swimming on the hour, at their allocated time, and swim
for 55 minutes, leaving 5 minutes for changeovers.
Lockers
The
leisure Centre installed new lockers in early 2017, these require a
padlock to secure each locker. Swimmers can either bring their own
padlock, or a swimmer can purchase one from Reception for £4. If the
swimmer wish to keep this lock for future use they can, or the padlock can
be returned to Reception and receive a £3 refund.
Kit
We
suggest swimmers may want to take a bottle of water into the pool area (no
cans or glass bottles on poolside).
Swim Laps
Adult teams should complete (1 Lap = 2 lengths of the pool). There
can be arrangements for younger children to be positioned at either end of
the pool, they swim 1 length and the return length by another team member,
and this will count as a Lap. Laps will only be counted at the end of the
pool by the Lane Steward (and indicated on the Lap counter).
Spectators
Spectators are very welcome there is seated spectator area alongside the pool.
