Warm Water Swimming Provision within Bath Sports and Leisure Centre and Keynsham Leisure Centre
03/04/2017 - Warm Water Swimming Provision within Bath Sports and Leisure Centre and Keynsham Leisure Centre
The Cabinet Member agrees:
1) That the Council provide teaching pools at both facilities, with warmer water (30-32 °c), than the main pool at a depth of 0.9 – 1m which is the standard depth and temperature for a pool of this type. These pools to be designed in partnership with Sport England to ensure they meet the accessibility guidelines as far as reasonably practical within the constraints of a refurbishment.
2) That the provision of these facilities constitutes a reasonable adjustment based upon the respective needs of the core user and the needs identified by the WWISE group while maximising the use for all users and minimising the risks to safety of users, capital and revenue impacts and deterioration of premises that operating a permanent dedicated warm water facility would entail.
