We would like to show off the school's art gallery created for International Dot Day!
DOT DAY celebrates the book "THE DOT" written and illustrated by Peter H Reynolds.

" It follows a doubting student named Vashti who believes she cannot draw. Her art teacher encourages her to "make a mark and see where it takes you". Vashti angrily pokes a single dot onto a piece of paper. This simple act sparks a journey of self-discovery, confidence, and artistic growth"

We think the pupils have done a smashing job representing all the day stands for!! 😍

We have a range of accessible facilities available at the pool to help make your visit as comfortable and enjoyable as possible:

𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗣 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦: There is ramp access at the front entrance for anyone who may require it or who would prefer to avoid the turnstiles.

𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗘𝗦: A large accessible changing room with hoist is available. This has a shower, toilet, privacy curtain, seats and lockers.

𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗟 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦: Walk-in steps with a handrail are available at all four corners of the pool.

𝗣𝗢𝗢𝗟𝗦𝗜𝗗𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗜𝗦𝗧: If you require the hoist, please let Reception know when you arrive and our lifeguards will have it ready for you.

𝗧𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗧𝗦: An accessible toilet is available at the pool, and a Changing Places toilet with an adult-sized, height-adjustable changing bench and ceiling hoist is available in the adjacent Stonehaven Leisure Centre

We don’t currently offer specific ASN sessions but we understand that some visitors may prefer a quieter and calmer environment. The pool is generally quieter first thing in the morning and towards the end of the day. Our timetabled 'quiet swim' sessions offer a more peaceful environment with no music, no unaccompanied children, no pool toys and the chute and paddling pool closed.

Our clean, heated seawater provides natural buoyancy, helping to support and make movement in the water easier for swimmers with a range of abilities.

If you are unsure whether the pool is suitable for your requirements, please feel free to visit. A lifeguard will be happy to show you around our facilities.

Concessionary prices may be available for ASN swimmers and carers. Evidence of eligibility must be provided in advance to the Live Life Aberdeenshire Customer Services team at [email protected]

Please share this post with any groups or individuals who may benefit from our accessibility options.

Please check out the post pinned at the top of our page for our full timetable, lots more information and answers to FAQs. There is 𝗻𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 with the exception of midnight swims - just pay at reception on arrival.
