Help keep our pool water clean. The water is tested regularly each day for its chlorine content, pH and temperature to make sure it is in accordance with national guidelines. More comprehensive weekly and monthly tests are also carried out to ensure your safety and enjoyment.

The water temperature is maintained at between 29 and 31 degrees to ensure the maximum water quality and bather comfort. The water in the pool is constantly filtered and disinfected, and the filters are cleaned at least once per week. The pool is topped up with fresh water on an ongoing basis.

You can help improve the water in which you swim by:

• Showering before you swim.
• Babies wearing proper baby swimwear or swimming nappies.
• Always using the toilet before you swim, and ensuring children do too.
• Not swimming if you have suffered from diarrhoea in the last two weeks.
