Gayton Swimming Pool

Gayton Swimming Pool is 17m by 7.5m pool with depths up to 1.2m. Gayton Swimming Pool opened for courses and lessons on 4th January 2011.

It is 17m by 7.5m pool with depths up to 1.2m particularly suitable for younger children and disabled swimmers, the water is normally at a temperature of 30 to 31C. There is a full programme of use including Children’s Lessons, Schools Sessions, Baby Sessions, Public swimming with Ladies Only and Men Only times and Aqua Fit Water Exercise. It will be open every day. We are looking for other users,

particularly local groups and clubs who want some water time. The pool will be operated on behalf of Derby City Council by Gayton Pool Limited which is a subsidiary of the Lonsdale Swimming & Sports Trust, a Registered Charity. Gayton Pool is operated with trained lifeguards certificated to National Pool Lifeguard Qualification standards by the Royal Life Saving Society for your safety.

This week, Lonsdale Pool and Gayton Pool have been proud to support RLSS Drowning Prevention Week.

During lessons, swimmers have been learning important water safety skills, including Float to Live, what to do if someone is in trouble in the water, who to call in an emergency, and how to use everyday items to help someone safely from the side by reaching and throwing.

We’ve also been talking about the key message: never jump in after someone. Call for help, stay calm, and use something that floats or reaches.

Helping our swimmers build confidence in the water is so important, but teaching them how to stay safe around rivers, lakes, pools and open water is just as vital.

A huge well done to everyone who took part.

This Drowning Prevention Week, we’re supporting RLSS UK by helping families feel more confident around water.

Whether you’re heading to the pool, beach, river or lake this summer, a few simple safety steps can make all the difference:

Stop and think
Stay together
Float if you get into trouble
Call 999 in an emergency

Water should be fun, safe and enjoyed with confidence. Why not use this week as a reminder to talk to your children about water safety, practise floating, and keep building their confidence in the pool?
