Q3. From what age can my child use the facilities at the Leisure Centre unaccompanied by an adult?
A. For a child to use the swimming pools unaccompanied by an adult they must be aged 7 or over, with no exceptions. We would stress however that for a child to be allowed access to the deep end of the main pool they must be able to competently swim 2 lengths of the pool with a recognised stroke. Children under the age of 16 are not permitted to use the Fitness Suite.
