TEXT A — Notice to swimmers – Bramley Park Leisure Centre BRAMLEY PARK LEISURE CENTRE – IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL SWIMMERS From Monday 7 September, opening hours for the main pool will change. Early-morning lane swimming will begin at 6.15 am on weekdays instead of 7.00 am, in response to requests from members who like to swim before work. Weekend hours remain unchanged: 8.00 am to 6.00 pm. Please note that the main pool will be closed entirely from 12 to 16 October for its annual deep clean and the replacement of tiles in the shallow end. The learner pool and the sauna will stay open as usual throughout this period, and Swim School lessons will move temporarily to the learner pool, so no lessons will be cancelled. Members are reminded that armbands and floats may be borrowed free of charge from the poolside office, but swimming caps must be purchased at reception (£3.50). Lockers now require a £1 coin, which is returned to you when you collect your belongings. If you have any questions, please speak to the duty manager or telephone 01632 960227 between 9.00 am and 5.00 pm, Monday to Friday.
