I went to the pools this afternoon. I got there just after 5.00pm and paid the £3.50 for a swim. I was a bit dismayed that they closed the pool (and the gym from what I could undertand of the PA announcement) at about 5.40pm, even though the timetable on the website says it's Lane Swim until 6.00pm. Someone in the changing room said it happens every week. In fact, when I left the building it was still only 5.50pm and the staff were ushering people to the door - including one chap who was trying to just read the notice board!

Is this general policy? Does it happen every night? Is it supposed to? If so, surely they should let people know if they arrive in the last hour (and maybe even offer a discount?). There's no mention of it on the website or the timetable (which says only that last admittance is "30min prior to closing").

Apologies if this has been mentioned before - this is a very long thread.
