Our Dryside Changing Rooms are back open and ready for you to use again 🙌

Thanks for bearing with us while we gave them a bit of a refresh!

We’re now sprucing up the Swimming Changing Rooms, with works expected to be finished by 26th June.

During this time, the Swimming Changing Rooms will be closed, so swim members are more than welcome to use the Dryside Changing Rooms in the meantime.

After that, we’ll be giving the toilets a little refresh from 29th June – 6th July 🚧

Thanks again for bearing with us while we improve things around the centre 🙌

Cold water shock can happen in water that's colder than a typical swimming pool – not just icy water 💧

If you fall into cold water:
✅ Keep your mouth clear of the water and focus on controlling your breathing
✅ Float on your back or paddle gently to stay afloat
✅ Once calm, swim to safety or something that will help you float and call for help
✅ Warm up as soon as possible after getting out to reduce the risk of hypothermia.
