What is the last entrance time?

Please check the centre timetables for session times as they change throughout the year. Booking in advance is recommended. The last entry is 30 minutes before the advertised closing time. To keep things running smoothly, please arrive on time for your session (not earlier or later). If you’re more than 10 minutes late, you may be refused entry to your booked session out of consideration for other swimmers.
