Dear Rebecca,

 

Further to your request for information regarding swimming pools, which
was received on 18/09/23, please see below the answers to your enquiry.

 

 1. Please list all council-funded public swimming pools that provide
'women only' or 'ladies only' (or similarly described) swimming
sessions in your local authority.

 2. Which of the listed facilities that advertise 'women only' or 'ladies
only' (or similarly described) swimming sessions, provide an
environment that is exclusively single sex, i.e., for females only,
and which facilities provide a session that is mixed sex, i.e., do not
exclude males who identify as a woman?

 

Answer - Ladies Only, 20:00 - 21:00, Indoor Pool. The Council does not
provide a definition on the Council’s webpage.

 

 3. Please send me a copy of the council policy or policies that cover the
provision of 'women only' or 'ladies only' (or similarly described)

on demand and requirements. As such no recorded information is held.

 

 4. Please tell me, do the council-funded leisure centres and sports
facilities provide single sex changing rooms and showers in your local
