    The Leys pool is a traditional 25m school pool, with 1m and 2m depths at the shallow and deep ends, and with no lane divisions. There are communal changing rooms with showers. Car parking is no longer available at the school. The session is supervised by trained lifeguards. There is no tuition or organised activity. For anyone with restricted mobility, the lifeguards can help with entry to the pool, and with exit. Most people swim lengths but how you swim is up to you. We are a friendly group and sometimes organise social get togethers. A free trial swim can be arranged. There will be no sessions in school half terms: - 26 Oct, 16 Feb, 1 Jun. Note: A fee of £76 is payable with your course application; this covers the hire of the pool and lifeguards.

  • It is a great pleasure to swim in The Leys Schools pool. We have it to ourselves and I find it a gentle and refreshing exercise which is particularly beneficial.
