Ringwood health and leisure has a lovely 25m five lane pool and a 10m teaching pool, surrounded by windows and a high ceiling, giving a really enjoyable swimming experience. Our pools have a reputation for excellent water clarity, both being disinfected by our ultra violet filtration plant. The main pool has a maximum depth of 1.8m (6ft) and the teaching pool has a maximum depth of 0.75m (2'6)
The centre is a dual use centre which means that during the daytime our pool facilities are shared with Ringwood School alongside, and with other Junior and Infant Schools within our catchment area. This also means that our programme changes slightly each term. The Swimming Times chart will give you information on opening times and prices as well as a description of each swimming session.
The regular early morning, lunchtimes and evenings sessions are complimented by additional slots in the daytime where available. During the holiday periods the pool programme is expanded with increased public swimming times throughout the day.
Lifeguards
At all times you are looked after by trained lifeguards to ensure your safety and enjoyment whilst you use our pools and changing area. All centre staff also receive training in child protection and are police checked.
Sauna & Steam Room Facilities
The sauna and steam cabins, on poolside, are offered free to all of our adult customers who may wish to enhance their swim or relax after a workout in the gym or studio. There are numerous benefits of the sauna and steam heat treatment to both your physical and mental states as well as healing qualities for sporting injuries.
Swimming Lessons
The Swim Academy has been produced following ASA guidelines and has adopted the continuous development approach. Lessons are available for pre-school, junior and adult age groups. Intensive weekly courses can be booked during holiday times for many levels.
We also cater for those who would prefer private swimming lessons. These lessons are designed to suit everyone at a time and day that is convenient for you and your instructor. To request an individual lesson please complete an application form from reception and return it to the swimming co-ordinator.
