Swimming facilities

The council's responsibilities for the safety of all swimmers taking part in activities we’re organising or running.

We have guidance to help us make sure that we are managing health and safety in all our swimming activities. This safety code will mostly apply to schools but there will be other areas of the council where this is also relevant.   

Our policies include checklists to make sure that the safety codes are being followed correctly. They outline the tasks and checks that need to be carried out before a pool can be safely used by swimmers.
