Conditions

A qualified lifeguard must be on duty at all times during the hire period. You can use your own lifeguard or we can provide a list of them for you to choose. Please note we require proof of qualifications prior to use. As the hirer you are responsible for the safety and behaviour of all people within your group. Any under eights must have adults in the pool with them.

Pool time is in popular demand, ask for availability and booking information.

(We apologise that there is not a disabled access point at present. We are looking at ways to incorporate this facility - please contact us if you can help in anyway).

Funding for our pool

Leesland Pool is not funded by the local authority or central government which means that we have to fund raise for any large maintenance items.  Since 2015 when we were told we needed a new roof, we have raised over £145,000 and have paid for the new roof, new boiler, refurbished changing rooms, new pool covers, new internal doors and paneling and this year we have had a new pool liner installed.  We are currently fund raising to upgrade the lighting over the main pool and for a new air heating system, both of which would help us with our carbon footprint and to become a little more energy efficient!

We have a QR code with which donations can be made.  We have an account with our PTFA, Helping Angels, so if you use the code, you will see their name appear.  

                                      If you have any ideas for fund raising or are aware of any funding streams 

                                      we can access, please let us know!

Friends of Leesland Pool 

Our recently created support group comprises representatives from our school Governing Body, Aqua Academy, School Staff, Parents and other individuals who are passionate about keeping our pool alive and available for the local community. It is a newly formed group and we are looking for more people to join us.  This support group has been created to continue the fund raising that is required to keep the pool going.  If you would be interested in joining us, please contact our Business Manager, Kate Hedges who will be happy to help.

Advertising

We are about to offer opportunities for local businesses and organisations to advertise in our swimming pool area.  More details will appear shortly.

Sponsorship

We are always on the lookout for future sponsorship. Please contact our Business Manager, Mrs Hedges. Your sponsorship will help provide this facility with much needed support, as it benefits from community use as well during the week. Any future sponsorship will enable to keep this pool running.
