Important Information Regarding The Physical Activity Hub

IMPORTANT
Some info for using the new pool.
Arriving on foot is not recommended after dark. The access is a footpath next to the temporary vehicle only access next to Black. Bank. There is a new path leading on to Black Bank and then into the car park . If you use it take a torch.
In the car park there are disabled bays marked out with cones but not marked on the ground in the right corner nearest to the entrance.
Once inside, pass the café seating area and viewing area on the right on the same level and adjacent to the small pool. Then pass the snack sales bar and reception if you have a Passport to Leisure. The turnstiles only allow one person at a time to pass. Repeat the use of the card until all your group is through. If you don’t have card access, see reception.
Inside the turnstiles all outdoor shoes must be removed.
Family and disabled changing are immediately to the right and left respectively. If you have a RADAR key it may not work as there is a problem currently being sorted out. If you need the fully accessible changing room please tell reception.
The lockers all take either a poud coin or a token.
There are showers on the way to the pool for pre-swim and very nice shower cubicles for after your swim.
The doors have braille signage.
There are going to be half lanes but they are not there yet.
Leaving through the turnstiles is much simpler than entering – just walk through (as the old pool).
Finally, take care driving out onto Coventry Road, it is busy and visibility is restricted by parked cars.
See you all tomorrow.
