-Shower thoroughly from ‘top to toe’ with soap before entering the pool to remove deodorant, cosmetics, and perspiration.
-Use toilet facilities before your swim and remember to wash your hands thoroughly with soap.

-Please dispose of nappies, trunks, and sanitary products in the bins provided.
-Do not swim if you have consumed a meal within the last two hours.
-Never swim if you have consumed alcohol or are under the influence of drugs.
-Do not swim if you are currently suffering from a cold or flu.

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.
