Welcome Back
We want to ensure you feel comfortable returning to Turriff Swimming pool and understand the changes we have made for customers safety. Below are a list of changes and short descriptions of the sessions we will be running
- Pre-booked sessions only. Customers must book ahead as we are not accepting walk in bookings
- Hand sanitising station at reception
- Limited numbers ensuring social distancing throughout the pathway from reception to pool. We have some areas where distancing will be difficult - moving from changing area to poolside as example. We ask customers to respect other users and keep distance in this area
- No lockers are available. Customers are asked to leave belongings in their allocated changing cubicle. We ask you to not take valuables, however where this is unavoidable, there will be a box on poolside to leave these and collect as you leave pool
- We are offering showers for a rinse only. This will be reviewed following opening
- No spectating during any session
Sessions
Our initial programme will include the following sessions :
- Lane Swim 2 wide lanes will be available. A slow and fast lane will be in operation and we ask customers to enter what they feel would be appropriate. Lifeguards will be on hand to assist. Overtaking during a length is discouraged and instead swimmers should be conscious of others and allow passing at each end if required
- Household Bubble - the pool will be split into 3 tanks, each with their own set of steps for entry and exit. 2 tanks will be shallow water - progressing into water of 1.4m depth, and the 3rd tank will be deep end only. Those booking deep end tank must all have competent swimmer award. The tank is suitable for groups from a single household, up to a maximum of 5 per household. Social distancing within your tank is not required in this session
- Therapy Swim A session suitable for anyone with additional support needs, swimmers with carers or those recovering from recent injuries or illness. The pool will be a single tank, with customers asked to maintain distancing
- 8-11 Fun session A session for anyone aged over 8 and under 12. Floats will be available. Social distancing is not required in pool tank during this session. Unfortunately parents cannot enter building with children, this helps us ensure appropriate distancing a occupancy within each space
- Inflatable session A session which will have one of either our fun run, or fixed - dalmatian or octopus inflatables in use
- Aqua Aerobics An instructor led session, with exercise in the water. Social distancing will be observed during this session
