Ryan Centre Swimming Pool
25 metre pool with leisure water and flumes.
Update
Due to the ongoing Essential works being carried out in our Swimming Pool, our Pool is closed at this time.
The swimming provision will continue throughout the closure at Stranraer Academy, and our swimming timetable will offer similar public swimming times and activities as we do at the Ryan Centre throughout school holiday periods, but with restricted public swimming sessions through the day during school term.
Please note:
- The changing rooms are smaller than that at the Ryan Centre, so please make sure you are "beach ready" on arrival in case the facilities are busy.
- Spaces per session are limited, so please pre book your space where possible, either through the app, online or with reception staff at the Ryan Centre.
- Payment will be card or cash payments.
- There are no lockers available, so please only bring essential items with you and leave all valuables at home. You can take a small bag onto poolside and leave it on the benches at the shallow end of the pool.
- There is no spectating area available at the school.
- Entry to the pool will be through the doors at the Aird/Rephad end of the Academy. Car parking is available via McMaster's Road (driving along the back of the school). Staff will be on hand at reception (by the entrance door) to assist you.
- Be assured that staff will be on hand to guide you through the transition.
