    To avoid unnecessary cash handling, it is requested that spectators please bring the correct amount of money for their entry and raffle tickets for each session.

    Car parking is on the pay-and-display car park, no free parking is available as was available in previous years, the first 2 hours are confirmed as free of charge for the weekend as long as you enter your registration onto the iPad at the leisure centre reception (if the system is down a sheet may be in uses in the sports centre reception), parking on the car park opposite the centre and at the side of the football field will incur the standard charges for the duration of your stay and are not free.

    Large swim bags are not allowed on the poolside and should be placed in a locker for a refundable charge of £1, please only bring a small bag 30cm x 30cm onto the poolside with your spare cap, goggles & snacks for the session.

    Masters swimming is now running on Tuesdays at 7:30pm and Thursdays at 7:30pm, the session will be 1 hour long and coach lead, if you are interested you will need to book onto the session by emailing the club workingtonasc@outlook.com. You need to arrive swim ready to the rear emergency exit (not the main reception) and bring your kit and towel to dry down afterwards, if you wish to change before leaving you will need to exit the pool 10 minutes before the end and change in the designated group change room, or exit towel dry with your over clothes on top of your swim kit with the other swimmers via the side emergency exit.

    Update 2024: The masters squad now also has a lane available on Sunday mornings from 8:00am to 10:00am. Also, changing facilities are now accessible so you can enter via the main entrance and get changed before/after the sessions.

    If you have any questions please email workingtonasc@outlook.com
