Improvement works at Bamber Bridge Leisure Centre
South Ribble Leisure Centres are undergoing a multimillion-pound improvements project, which will make greener, more energy efficient leisure centres, and will give them long-needed modernisation and upgrades.
As part of this project, we’re creating brand-new pool changing areas, toilets, and showers at Bamber Bridge Leisure Centre. While this work is happening there will temporarily be different changing arrangements, and we will update with a start date as soon as it is confirmed.
We've already upgraded the power supply, heating, and hot water systems, installed solar panels and energy-efficient air source heat pumps, improved ventilation and upgraded the roof and fencing. And there’s more to come - including an updated reception area and upgraded gym equipment!
Pool changing room works began on 25 February
While this work is happening there will be some temporary changes to how swimming sessions run, and we really appreciate your understanding during this time. Here’s what you need to know:
- The pool will remain fully open during the works.
- Most poolside changing areas closed: For the next 4-6 weeks, most poolside changing rooms will be closed while work is underway. There will be a small number of cubicles still open, plus our dry-side changing facilities will be available for use
- Come swim-ready: We ask that you arrive ready to swim (costume under clothes)
- Where to store your belongings: There will be some lockers available by the pool for your belongings. We are also providing containers for customers to carry their possessions to and from the pool and dry-side changing rooms.
- After your swim: A small number of pool-side changing rooms will be available, plus our dry-side changing rooms, which have showers and toilets are available to use. Swimmers should use a towel or robe to cover themselves as they walk through reception area to the changing rooms (separate male and female), approximately 20 meters from the poolside. As part of this temporary arrangement, you’ll pass through reception to access the pool, so we recommend wearing flip-flops or similar footwear.
- Please note: When our schools are using the dry-side changing rooms, these will be temporarily closed to other users.
Accessibility
At Bamber Bridge Leisure Centre we have:
- disabled parking bays approximately 15m from centre entrance
- a pool hoist for swimming pool access
- ramp from pool spectator area to pool-side
- beach walk in area for the pool
- disabled swimming pool changing room with seated shower and non-slip floor
- family/disabled changing cubicles with non-slip floor
- passenger lift to first floor (there is no passenger lift facility to the upper gym)
- free entry for carers, when caring - ask reception for details of bookable sessions
- discounts as part of the Leisure Card scheme
- public transport across the road from the centre, with accessible buses.
If you would like to discuss your individual accessibility requirements, or arrange a show-round of the facilites available, please don't hesitate to get in touch with our friendly team - we're here to help.
