On some occasions, the main warm-up pool is available. This is situated downstairs, below main pool level, at the south end. While you are down there, have a look through the underwater viewing windows, which run along the side of the main pool and along the diving pit.

Facilities: Seating

The extensive seating runs along the east side at two levels. At pool level it is directly accessible to swimmers. At first floor level there is another bank of seats. To get to these you need to go up one of the sets of stairs.
