General Information

Pool Linings The pools are lined with Myrtha Pool liners (soft vinyl) and are extremely environmentally friendly when they are in manufacturing stage compared to the manufacturing of tiles.  It is important that the pool linings are respected to prevent damage. Can a child under 8 years of age utilise the pool without parent/caregiver supervision? No it is the law that children must be accompanied by a responsible caregiver over the age of 16 years.  Children under 8 years must be actively supervised by a parent / caregiver.  Under 5 years must be within arm’s length of their parent / caregiver at all times. Can I swim in the deep end of the pool? The Grey District Aquatic centre will require swimmers to prove that they are competent swimmers by swimming two widths of the lap pool (performed at the shallow end of the pool) Please do not be offended if a Lifeguard asks you to prove your competence, as it is for your safety. Can people with disabilities utilise the pool facilities? Yes there are two chair hoists at the GDAC, one entering the shallow side of the lap pool and one available for entering the spa.  There is also wheelchair access into the combined pool via the ramp. What is the percentage of chlorine in the pool water? The chlorine is made on site at the pool and the strength of our chlorine is only 1%. How are the germs killed in the pool water? As well as chlorine use, the pool water passes through an ultraviolet process which will eliminate most micro organisms in the pool. Should I shower before I enter the pool? It is a great practice to shower before you enter the pool as it will eliminate contaminations into the pool such as moisturisers.  The less of these contaminations entering the pool will mean that the sparkling blue look of the pool will be retained. Should I advise staff I have a medical condition? Yes it would be greatly appreciated that the staff are aware that you have a medical condition, this means that staff can cater for your needs and will be aware if assistance is required. What protection should my baby wear whilst swimming in the pool? To reduce pool contamination babies are required to wear protective swim wear such as “little Swimmers”, these are available for purchase at reception. How are the pools heated? The pools are heated by a boiler which generates heat from burning coal.  No wastage of heat occurs as the boiler also heats the pool surroundings to a warm temperature.
