Following the announcement by the Government on Wednesday 9th September to impose tighter restrictions on social gatherings in England from Monday 14th September, we can confirm that these will not apply to the operation of our leisure facilities at Wymondham, Long Stratton, Diss, Framingham Earl and Kett’s Park and our customers can continue to use all of them as they do at the moment. This is because we have stringent plans in place to reduce the risk if Covid-19 and because our facilities are classed as Covid-secure given the measures we have introduced, . The importance of sport and physical activity to people’s physical health and mental wellbeing has also been recognised by the Government. We have had our Covid-19 operating procedures independently assessed by health and safety specialists who praised the steps that we have taken to keep our customers and staff safe.
Sport England’s Covid-19 guidance can be found here and we have also produced a number of videos that demonstrate the measures that we have introduced at our centres, which can be found on South Norfolk Leisure’s YouTube channel here.
We remain committed to ensuring that you are able to stay active with confidence with us, and we look forward to welcoming our customers back into our centres; we are ready when you are.
We will not be taking any Direct Debit payments for fitness subscriptions unless you have instructed us to restart your membership, we have a range of offers for members who wish to return - please speak to reception for details of these. Requests for restart should be made to leisuremembership@s-norfolk.gov.uk Swim School will resume in September - if you wish your child to return to lessons then please email swimschool@s-norfolk.gov.uk No subscriptions will be taken until you have requested to restart and your lesson time/day confirmed.

At South Norfolk Council the safety of our customers and staff is extremely important to us and as you would have expected we have had to make some changes to our Centres so you can use them in a safe way. The following measures have been taken
- A queuing system will be put in place outside of the entrance
- Markers have been laid out on the floor so people adhere to being a safe distance from others
- A one-way system will be in operation at the building so there will be different entrance and exit points
- Screens have been put up at both the reception and café areas
- There will be a limit to the amount of people and time spent in the building each day
What areas of the facility will be accessible?
- The gym and a limited class programme will be open initially
- Members will be restricted to one activity booking per day
- Swimming will be available from 22nd August (pre booked sessions only)
- swim school classes will resume 7th September for existing pupils
- There will be no access to the changing rooms on dry side
- The SPA or Thermal suite will be closed
- All visits will need to be pre booked to allow us to ensure safe social distancing
Why can’t I use the Dry side changing rooms?
Due to limited space in the changing room areas and the lack of airflow from windows we are unable to allow access to these rooms.
The gym slots, swim sessions and classes will be bookable online. Members will be able to book two weeks in advance (excluding family swim sessions), casual gym and class and pool users will be able to book one week in advance. If you need help making a booking watch this short video
The gym visits will run at set times with 75 minute slots - followed by a 15 minute break to allow surface cleaning and air refresh and to ensure we are able to clear the gym between sessions.
Swim Sessions will run at set times with 60 minutes slots (45 mins swim time and 15 minutes changing time) - all swimmers will need to book a place in the lane swims - family sessions are available for up to six swimmers (if you wish to book a family swim for less than four swimmers or to include members please contact reception on 01953 607171)
Members will be asked to only make one booking per day
All visits will need to be pre booked to allow us to ensure safe social distancing
