Registration

In order to ensure that those most in need of the hydrotherapy pool have priority use, the majority of opening hours are reserved for use by registered users. It is quite simple to become a registered user. First pick up a referral form from reception and take this form to your G.P. who will need to complete the top portion. You complete the bottom portion and return the form to Polkyth Leisure Centre. We will then issue you with a registered user card.

Safety

A qualified Pool Attendant is on duty at all times to assist and supervise users.
