Wetside changing room improvements

We're pleased to share that the essential improvement works at Ironmonger Row Baths Changing rooms are progressing well. 
This works forms part of the ongoing investment in the centre and are designed to improve the quality, comfort and overall customer experience within our wet-side changing areas.

What does this mean for customers?

We have now moved onto the next phase of work, this means we'll be closing the female changing room from 21st September. The family changing room will reopen from 21st September as well as the Male changing room which will temporarily be used as a mixed changing village, providing private changing cubicles, group changing rooms, shower cubicles and the communal showers will act as a pre-shower area during this time. The pre-shower area will also remain closed at this time. 

Our women's only Adult Swimming lessons remain temporarily paused as we're unable to provide a dedicated female-only changing environment during this time. Our Swim for Women sessions will remain on the programme but please be aware that we may not be able to guarantee a female-only environment. The women's only Aqua Aerobics will temporarily operate as a mixed class.

All other in centre facilities will remain open, including the first floor dry-side lockers, showers and changing facilities and children's swimming lessons remain unaffected. During the refurbishment, where possible we're asking members to arrive swim-ready to help reduce demand on the changing facilities.

Why are we carrying out these works?

The refurbishment will provide customers with improved changing facilities, creating a cleaner, more modern and welcoming environment that reflects the quality of the wider centre.

Keeping you informed

We understand that temporary disruption can be disappointing so we appreciate your patience while these improvements are carried out. We'll keep this article live on the website with the most up to date information on exact dates and temporary disruptions as well as emailing customers directly.

Thank you 

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming you back to enjoy the improved facilities once the project is complete.
