SWIMMING WITH BETTER

Swimming’s a great way to have fun and get healthy, whatever your age or level of ability.

At Truro Leisure Centre we have 2 swimming pools. A main swimming pool and a smaller leaner pool.

This means that when it comes to developing your skills, teaching your child, holding a party or just having fun, there’s never been a better time to take the plunge.

SWIM FOR FITNESS

Our Main Pool offers swimming sessions designed for all skill levels, with slow, medium, and fast lanes to suit your pace. These sessions are perfect for anyone looking for a low-impact workout to improve fitness and overall health. Swimming aids are also available for use during each session.

SWIM FOR ALL

Our Swim for All sessions cater to individuals of all fitness levels. Whether you aim to increase your self-assurance, refine your stroke techniques, relieve stress by floating in the water, or simply desire a relaxed swim alongside your loved ones, these sessions are ideal.

SWIM_ETIQUETTE.jpg

• Pre Cleanse
Please help us to keep your pool clean by following our
Swim Hygiene guidelines by showering and using the toilet
facilities before you swim.
• Respect
People of different standards and abilities will use the pool. Please
respect their right to enjoy their swim.
• Speed
Choose your lane using the fast, medium and slow signs and by
watching those already swimming. Before pushing off at each
turn, check to see if anyone faster is approaching.
• Direction
Please follow the directional signs and move across to the
appropriate side of the lane for each length.
• Space
Try and leave at least 5 metres between yourself and another
swimmer and if it’s possible to see a pace clock, then a 5 second
gap is just as good.
• Strokes
Wide stokes such as butterfly and breaststroke should be avoided
when the lanes become busy. If you change to a slower stroke as
part of your session, think about moving lanes.
• Equipment
Equipment such as short swim fins and hand paddles are permitted in lane sessions only at the discretion of the lifeguard and based on capacity. Snorkels can be used in conjunction with normal swimming goggles.
• Resting
Whether stopping for a rest or catching your breath after
completing your swim, please be mindful that others using the
lane will want to keep on swimming without stopping
• Share
Celebrate your achievements and share your swimming stories
with us on social media using #betterswimming, we’d love to hear them!
