Canford Sports Centre

**SpoRTS CENTRE UPDATE** 

After 4 months we are delighted to have reopened our doors to members and bookings again from the 25^th July. However, there are changes that we have had to make to the way that we will be operating to ensure that everyone is safe. Following the government guidelines for reopening indoor sports facilities we have developed the guidance notes for members and bookings which includes details on control measures in place for the swimming pool, gym and sports hall.

This is a ‘Phase 1’ opening plan until September and will be updated as guidance changes over the coming weeks. The biggest change is that all visits to the sports centre will need to be booked in advance via phone or email, this includes the gym and swimming sessions. From Monday 3rd August we have reintroduced some fitness classes. Please see the timetable ...: Click here. 

We appreciate that you may not be ready to return to the centre so all memberships will continue to be frozen until October 31st unless you reactivate via email sportscentre@canford.com where we will then confirm your new expiry date. Any payments made over the closed period will be extended onto your renewal date.
