POOL ADMISSIONS POLICY

During peak periods, a band entry system will be used at Saxon Pool and Leisure Centre. All swimmers will get a minimum of one hour in the pool but may be called out after this time if demand for swimming is high. Where bather loads have reached the maximum capacity for the session, there will be no entry admitted to the pool until the next available admission.

Access to our swimming pools is a priority so if you are bringing small children or have a disability, you can use our pool and changing facilities with ease. If you have a disability or lack mobility, we have great accessibility for you. This includes a hoist for entry into and out of the pool, ramped entry to the swimming pool, specially equipped changing areas and designated toilets. If you require extra help please ask a member of staff who will be happy to help you during your visit.
