Dear Faye McGinty
Freedom of Information (2000)
I am writing to confirm that the Council has now completed its search for the information which you
requested on
4 July 2023.
The information supplied has been provided by the Property department, in blue as below:
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.
None
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?
No swimming sessions at the council funded pools provide and environment that is single sex. All
swimming sessions that the council funded pools operate are mixed sex
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) swimming sessions.
As we do not offer 'women only' or 'ladies only' session this doesn't apply. We would need to comply
with relevant legislation
4. Please tell me, do the council-funded leisure centres and sports facilities provide single sex
changing rooms and showers in your local authority?
-
Spiceball Leisure Centre (unisex changing rooms for swimming) (single sex for gym/sports
hall users etc)
-
Kidlington Leisure Centre (single sex changing rooms for all activity types)
-
Bicester Leisure Centre (unisex changing room for swimming) (single sex for gym/sports hall
users etc)
-
Woodgreen Leisure Centre (unisex changing room for swimming) (single sex for gym/sports
hall users etc)
