Swimming Pool Changing Rooms Closure
From Thursday 15th January 2026 our Swimming Pool Changing Rooms will be closed, whilst renovations are carried out.
These works have been predicted to take 5 weeks.

Please see the key information below:
- There will be no access to wetside changing throughout this period.
- Swimming Pool users are strongly encouraged to arrive “swim ready” to minimise time spent in changing areas.
- All pool activities will continue to run as normal.
- Pool entry and exit will be through the side door in the viewing area
- Dry changing areas will remain open; however, we encourage all dry users not to change onsite where possible and to arrive ready to participate.
- Disabled dryside showers will be available as a contingency option.
- Dry changing rooms will temporarily operate as single-sex wet changing areas for those who require them.
- Temporary Changing will also be available in the Viewing Area.
We will keep users regularly updated on progress throughout the project. This will also allow flexibility should works need to be extended unexpectedly.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while these improvements are completed. If you have any questions, please speak to a member of the team.
Kind regards,
RiversMeet Team
