SWIM SESSION INFORMATION
Two pools are available, a 25m by 9m main pool and a 9m by 5m learner pool. A range of sessions to meet most needs are available throughout the week.
Lane Swimming: Lane swimming is available from 12 noon until 1.30 during weekdays and from 12.30 until 1.30 at weekends. There are a few additional sessions available during early evenings (see timetable). The sessions are generally intended for adults who prefer to swim up and down the pool in a more controlled environment without the problem of other bathers cutting across or diving or jumping in from the sides. Three lanes are available, slow, medium and fast with the middle lane allocated for the fastest swimmers.
Aquarobics: One day time class and three evening sessions of Aquarobics are offered each week. These water-based classes are suitable for all levels of fitness and are ideal for anyone who wishes to start an exercise class and enjoys being in the water. Since the exercise can take place in the shallow end, non-swimmers can participate although you should advise the instructor if you cannot swim. The classes are fun and take you through a series of exercises to improve posture, flexibility and muscle tone. They offer a good cardio-vascular workout and, being water based, they reduce the risk of joint impact during exercise. Senior Aquamove for over 50s concentrates more on mobility and flexibility.
