Galashiels Swimming Pool

We are excited to welcome you back to our facilities.

Currently we are not taking bookings for anybody under the age of 14 in general lane swimming sessions. We do have Junior Lane Swimming sessions available at all our open swimming pools for children aged 10 to 14 years and Family Swimming Sessions that are open to all ages.

These are only the initial opening programmes. Services will be subject to constant review, responding to demand and any new government regulations whilst constantly ensuring our customer and staff safety as a priority.

We have put new hygiene measures in place in line with COVID 19 regulations, and are staggering the start times of each lane to manage the amount of people in the changing village. Please arrive ‘beach ready’ just a couple of minutes before your session. More information can be found in our FAQ’s.

Please book the lane to suit your ability or session plan. There will be a maximum of eight swimmers per double lane.
