How to access Rhayader Leisure Centre under the 'new normal'

revised centre opening hours (from 4th May)

There will be clear signage showing the routes you are required to take around the centre and areas that are out of use. 

Changing rooms and showers will be unavailable except for those using our swimming pool. Customers are asked to come prepared i.e. beach ready, with swim wear worn under clothing to minimise your time spent in changing rooms.

We can only accept contactless payments. Please bring change with you if required, for lockers (poolside only) or vending products.

Water fountains are available to fill bottles only.

Our staff will be on hand as always but please remember to respect the social distancing rule when requesting assistance from our team members.

The gym is open during our centre opening hours. There is no longer a requirement to book a slot before visiting the gym, however we do have a limit on the number of customers allowed in the gym at any one time. This is monitored by the team onsite. 

We ask that you observe social distancing whilst using the gym and clean down the equipment before and after use. 

They gym is regularly cleaned by staff throughout the course of the day. 

All fitness classes MUST be booked in advance.  

Ideally customers should bring their own mats for classes. If using our centre mats please ensure these are fully sanitised after use. 

Our classes will be taking place in our main hall.  We have reduced maximum customer numbers per class to suit the room.

Our revised group exercise timetable is now available.

• All class equipment will be thoroughly cleaned between sessions.
• Extra time will be allowed in between classes for cleaning.
• Class start times will be staggered to avoid congestion at reception and outside the studios.

The swimming pool will be re-opening on the 3rd May. There are various slots available to book in your swim. We have the following sessions available:

lane swim

Continuous swimming of lengths in the pool. Divided into two lanes, fast and slow. 

bubble swim

A session of families where a maximum of 2 adults and 2 children are allowed in an area of the pool. We divide the pool into sections 2 shallow and 1 deep. 

quiet swim

The pool is divided into sections to allow customers who may not be able to swim lengths back in the pool. Space is limited in these sessions. 

We have implemented and enhanced our cleaning regime throughout the centre. All areas will be cleaned regularly. It is essential that members clean down each machine after use – equipment may not be shared unless it has been cleaned down between uses.

Hygiene stations are available in all high-touch areas offering hand sanitiser and medical-grade disinfectant and sanitising wipes.

Personal gym towels are permitted but please use wipes and paper towels provided when cleaning down equipment and dispose of them after each use.

• Please DO NOT come to the centre if you are feeling unwell.
• Please take responsibility for social distancing measures by adhering to the floor markings and posters and avoid congregating with others before and after classes/sessions.
• Please don’t arrive more than 5 minutes prior to your booking.
• Please ensure you wipe down all equipment before and after use using the sanitisation wipes or spray provided.
• Please leave all valuables at home and only bring your essentials – there will be water bottles available to purchase but no cups will be provided. No cash payments will be taken.
• Please ensure you check in at reception before entry.
• Please be kind.  Respect others and respect our staff who are working hard to ensure all the rules and regulations are followed that will allow us to remain open.
• If you wish to wear a mask to train then please do, we will, however, not be enforcing the wearing of masks
• We would ask members NOT to wear disposable gloves whilst in the facility but to sanitise your hands before/after using each piece of equipment.
