Once you've done that, you can purchase swim tickets which go on-sale on membermojo each Thursday evening at 7pm for that Sunday's swim.
Do I need to be naked?
There is an expectation that you will be nude when swimming. You can wear a towel in the other facilities, but again most people don’t. Towels/sheets must be worn when walking in corridors, the public rooms downstairs and upstairs.
What's the etiquette?
Shower before entering the pool and after using the hot rooms / sauna.
Towels are provided for drying and sitting/lying on.
To preserve others' privacy, phones and photography are not allowed.
Tea, coffee & biscuits are available in the upstairs lounge—complimentary, but donations always welcome. Members meet there for a blether and to catch up on the latest news.
The building is locked at 9.30pm, so please leave by 9.15pm.
What other facilities are available?
Clothed use of the gym (you'll need to arrange an induction first with the pool staff).
