 Rules for Pool Sessions

For safety reasons, the number of boats/paddlers in the pool will normally be limited to 25 (20 in the large pool and 5 in the small pool).

Numbers will be monitored on a first come first served basis and will be counted as you pay. You must pay before getting changed. If you arrive later than the first 25 paddlers for the 1st or 2nd session, you will be offered a paddle in the following session, at a higher priority than the normal 2nd or 3rd session paddlers. This will normally be in the small pool and will again be subject to a maximum number.

We understand that this will inevitably cause disappointment for a few paddlers each week and that some people may not be able to stay and "over spill“ in to a later session. We hope you understand that we have had to implement these guidelines for the safety and enjoyment of all our members.
