We should all aim to get to the poolside at 6:55pm to start at 7pm sharp. We have to have a 5 minute changeover period between us and the next club. Edinburgh Leisure wanted this to be 10 minutes, so they will be monitoring us to make sure we are all out of the pool by 7:55pm sharp.

I have been advised that currently club swimmers park either in the surrounding side streets (if they can find a space) or in Somerfield car park (on Dalry road). The general consensus is that it isn't a problem parking there for 2 hours at that time of the evening. There is also railing space outside Dalry baths for locking bikes. I would advise getting there early the first week if you are driving.
