The male and female changing rooms have disabled changing room access and the main swimming pool has got a pool lift so that a disabled person can get in the pool and the pool lift is manual, it is easy to use. In addition, there is a small pool and a training pool. The main reception has a disabled door near the weight scales. However, the building does not have a lift so there is no access for anyone capable of using the stairs so they can go into the pool viewing area and the functional room.
