Strict COVID-safe protocols are in place. When you’re visiting us you must follow the directions of all signage and staff, and please remember:

- You must sign in and out using the QR code.
- You must wear a mask at all times when not swimming or exercising.
- Wash your hands before and after you use any equipment or touch public surfaces. The safest thing to do is assume the person before you has the virus.
