From recent testing blue green algae levels have reduced but we need to remain vigilant. We will actively watch for and disperse algae scums, using the aerator overnight and update you if reported levels change.

Correction to last weeks email, swim limit will go to 160 metres from this Wednesday (not 220 as per last weeks email) 😔

There are space left on our guided tour this Saturday 29th June at 2pm. https://t.co/BIpJh09hKN

There are no more available swim tests slots today or tomorrow I'm afraid. Please do not come on the off chance we can fit you in as we wont be able to and you will be turned away. Sorry 😒

Please see email sent regarding parking - the Club will take disciplinary action where inconsiderate parking by a member (including that of any guest) and community access user is evidenced. This is something no one wants to pursue but we will do if deemed necessary.

The recent results for testing of blue-green algae confirm that levels have reduced but we need to remain vigilant. We will actively watch for and disperse algae scums, using the aerator overnight and update you if reported levels change.

Blue Green Algae Levels

The most recent results of the latest analysis of blue-green algae shows we are over the Environments Agencies’ guidelines and are at Alert level 1. We will use the aerator and actively monitor and disperse any algae scums https://t.co/sf6VocRgzt
