PRICE INCREASE
Unfortunately, due to the ongoing increase in energy prices, we have had to increase the prices for the pool. We are doing all we can to keep our costs low for all our customers from October 2022.
SAUNA CLOSURE
Since March 2022, we have closed our sauna. Due to changes in our circumstances, the sauna will be closed until further notice.
ADULT ONLY WEEKDAYS
Since September 2021, we are now adult on on weekdays (Monday to Friday) and open for families with children at weekends.
ROADMAP OUT OF LOCKDOWN
Following the Government publishing its ‘Covid19 Spring Response’ roadmap it looks like we will be
open to reopen the pool from Monday 12 April. Indoor leisure will be open again as part of ‘Step 2’. We will be making further announcements here and on our Facebook/Instagram as soon as know more, and have a confirmed date for reopening
THIRD NATIONAL LOCKDOWN
On January 5 2021 the Government announced a second National Lockdown from 5 January until at least February half-term. Sadly, we will be closed during this period.

We have contacted everyone with bookings during the lockdown, but if you have a booking, get in touch to rearrange.
TIER 4 RESTRICTIONS
On Wednesday 23 December, the Government announced that Tier 4 restrictions (including the closure of indoor leisure) will be implemented in Norfolk from Boxing Day (26 December). This means that we are currently closed until the lifting of these restrictions.
We will stay updated with the latest advice from the Government and Swim England and hope to open again as soon as possible. We have contacted everyone with bookings during the lockdown, but if you have a booking, get in touch to rearrange.
END OF SECOND NATIONAL LOCKDOWN & TIERS
Following the Government announcement on November 23, the latest guidance states that in all of the new tiers (1, 2 & 3), indoor leisure (including swimming pools) can remain open. We will re-open on 3 December.
We will be following all the advice to stay Covid secure and following all national and local measures. We will update here as more guidance is announced. Please note that our sauna will be staying closed for the time being.
SECOND NATIONAL LOCKDOWN
On October 31 2020 the Government announced a second National Lockdown from 5 November to 2 December. Sadly, as a leisure facility, we will be closed during this period.
