What you need to know
- Separate pools by ability: toddlers and non-swimmers have their own pools, while the 50 m pool is for confident swimmers only and bans swimming aids
- A dedicated diving pool with 1 m and 3 m boards, kept apart from the lap lanes
- No food by the water: food and soft drinks are banned around every pool, so eat away from the edge or at the restaurant
