Facilities: Pool, Car Parking, Catering, Seating, Other

Facilities: Pool

The swimming pool is sited in the Barnet Copthall Sports Centre which caters for many other sports than swimming. The swimming complex has a competition pool, a diving pool and a training pool.

The competition pool is 25M, Eight Lane. There are anti-wave lane lines. There is electronic timing. The deep end is at the east end and the starting is done from there.

Facilities: Car Parking

Parking is free. The normal car park is usually adequate for all the competitors.

If this fills, there is further parking on the grass behind the pool. Together these handle all competitors and spectators.

Facilities: Catering

The cafeteria is at first floor level and is partitioned off by windows and gives a good view of the three pools. It is cooler than poolside.

Facilities: Seating

The swimmer and spectator seating is all round the pool on 'ledges', and on the north side at first floor level. Be careful not to slip on a ledge when it is wet.

Facilities: Other

There is a swim shop on the first floor landing.

At first floor level, there are balconies where one can sit and look down onto the competition pool, the diving pool and the training pool.
