The swimming pool is shared with the Institute for Sport, Physical Education and Health Sciences (ISPEHS) and Edinburgh University Sports Union (EUSU) clubs, adding to the vibrant and energetic atmosphere. During member swim sessions, the pool is divided into slow, medium, and fast lanes, ensuring that swimmers of all abilities can enjoy their time in the water.
The changing facilities at St. Leonard's Land Swimming Pool are top-notch. With 22 individual cubicles and an accessible toilet/changing space, members have plenty of private areas to change and freshen up. In addition, there are separate male and female group changing spaces to accommodate larger groups.
For secure storage, there are 123 lockers available, which require a 1 coin that is refundable. Members can also take advantage of the six showers located just off the poolside, although swimwear must be worn in these shower areas. Each group changing space also includes two hairdryers for added convenience.
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable swimming experience, the swimming pool follows a member lane swimming timetable. This timetable can be viewed on their website, providing members with a clear schedule of available swimming sessions. It is important to note that participants in member lane swimming should be able to swim at least two lengths of the pool without stopping.
For any inquiries or to make group bookings, the St. Leonard's Land Swimming Pool has a dedicated contact section on their website. This allows members to easily reach out to the relevant personnel and receive prompt assistance.
