Pool Standards
The 25m, 6 lane pool has been constructed with a movable floor which enables the depth to be changed between 1.25-2 metres making it the perfect environment for both beginners and advanced swimmers alike. Sport Central also hosts regional and national swimming galas. The swimming pool also uses UV filtration which enables us to minimise the quantity of chemicals used thereby improving everyone’s swimming experience.
Please also note,
- A minimum of 3 lanes out of 6 will always be available during our pool opening hours.
- Children under the age of 8 must be accompanied by a parent or responsible adult (over 16 years) and supervised (one adult to a maxium of two children). It is recommended that children under the age of 5 are supervised on a one-to-one basis.
- Sport Central reserves the right to change scheduled public sessions and lane allocation at short notice.
