Welcome to Heckington Community Swimming Pool

 

Operated by Volunteers from the Community, for the Community

 

About your Pool....

 

Open from May to September each year

 

Once a school pool we are now a Community Pool and are able to welcome all members of the Heckington and wider community for private hire bookings, swim sessions, swimming lessons and use for Baby and Toddler Splash sessions and Ladies Evenings.
 

During Summer Term school time the pool is used by pupils of Heckington St Andrews School and local preschool groups for swimming lessons with a qualified swimming instructor.

 

As the pool is heated, is 12m x 7m and with a constant depth of one metre it is ideal for young children to gain confidence in water and to learn to swim.

 

But our pool is also ideal for our more senior members of the community, to help with confidence building in the water, provide gentle exercise, relief from tired or stressed joints and to aid mobility.

And the pool and its surrounding seating/patio areas with a wonderful 9m x 4 m gazebo, providing an ideal venue for birthday celebrations, family parties, and barbeques and summer gatherings of community groups...and is great value for money!

 

Our Snack Bar sells and serves hot and cold drinks, crisps, sweets and ices whenever the pool is in use.

 

Where is it?


Heckington Pool is situated to the right of St. Andrews C of E School and the Children’s Sure Start Centre on Howell Road, Heckington, Lincs. NG34 9RX

 

When are we open?

 

During school term time we are open to the public after school from 3.30pm and 4.30pm ~ extended to 5.30pm during July 2010 ~

£1.50 per swimmer per hour.

Baby and Toddler Splash sessions take place on Thurs and Friday afternoons between 2pm - 3pm ~ each infant must be accompanied by an adult and the cost is just £2.50.

During July 2010 we are also holding some 'Ladies Night' swim evenings, every Monday from 7pm - 9pm, with exclusive access to the pool for us girls! No children, no men - bliss! Again, cost is just £1.50 per hour per person. 


During the school holidays the pool is open for Community swimming sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 1pm – 3pm at a cost of just £1.50 per swimmer per hour.

 

When can it be hired for private use?

 

The pool is available to hire for private party or community group hires whenever it is not in use for school or public swimming sessions, providing we have a volunteer Lifesaver available to provide essential health and safety supervision. We usually require an hour at the end of a public swim session to ensure the pool is clean, tidy and ready for your use.

 

Private hire of the pool costs just £35 for 1 hour or £50 for 2 hours. On site barbeque hire is just £5.
 

Operated by Volunteers from the Community, for the Community

 

Safe and supervised access to the pool is provided by volunteer Lifesavers who receive free training in exchange for their poolside support. Training takes place every year, all we ask is a commitment from you, to carry out at least 3-5 Lifesaver services poolside during open season. This can be at after school sessions, Saturday or school holiday weekday sessions or at private hire functions.

 

We also rely on volunteers to support our Lifesavers in their role, acting as valuable ‘Eyes on the side’ when the pool is being used. You don't have to have any First Aid training for this (although it's always welcome), you simply need to be available to attend poolside and keep an eye on our bathers when not in the pool and our spectators to ensure they are behaving appropriately and are safe.


Additionally, volunteers also run our Snack Bar, provide essential Chemical and Keyholder duties and take care of the general care and maintenance of the pool site, buildings, weeding etc.

New volunteers of all ages and skills are always needed and welcomed. If you can help in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us. If you have just a few hours to offer, they would be very gladly received.
