Colour coding means we aim to see you as per the timings below….

🔴= seen immediately
🟠= seen within 15 minutes
🟡= seen within 1 hour
🟢= seen within 4 hours

Please bare with us while we get used to this new way of working!

In light of such tragic news in our area recently we wanted to make you all aware of Drowning Prevention Week and how we as a facility will be supporting our local community in learning such important and safety critical messages. 🧡

Places Leisure will be delivering sessions to our local schools across the week, highlighting some really important messages and guidance on how to stay safe in the water. 🛟

We will also be using our swimming lessons on site to deliver some critical water safety training to all of our swimmers🏊

In the meantime please see some key advice regarding water safety.

🧡 Cold water shock can happen in 60 seconds, leading to a loss of control in the water.
🧡 Stay out of open water unless clearly identified as a designated safe area.
🧡 Open water can be so dangerous, rivers, lakes, canals and reserviours all have hidden hazards, strong currents and cold water shock is real.

Always follow the safety advice, stay safe and stay out 🧡

Enjoying the sunshine? Make sure you’re protecting your skin properly ☀️

Sunscreen is important, but it shouldn’t be your only line of defence. Wearing suitable clothing, spending time in the shade, and avoiding the sun when it’s strongest (11am–3pm) can all help reduce your risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage 🌤️

When choosing sunscreen, look for:
• SPF 30 or higher to protect against UVB rays
• At least 4-star UVA protection or a UVA symbol in a circle
• Broad-spectrum protection covering both UVA and UVB ☀️

Don’t forget to apply sunscreen generously about 20–30 minutes before going outside and reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating 💧

Even water-resistant sunscreen needs reapplying, as water and towels can remove it more easily than you think 🌊
