What technical facilities are there?

There are power sockets on poolside so we would be able to set up lights if required, we can place items in cupboards on poolside or in lockers, there is a lot of space and different areas where we can shoot.

Environmental factors that may affect the location:

there will be cleaners which will need to walk through past the main pool and health suite which could get in the way of filming in certain locations. also the teaching pool is very open and exposed to the cafe. the pool and changing rooms will close around 7.45pm depending on the day.

Health & Safety regulations to be considered:

there are a number of hazards to consider whilst filming at this location. the main one being that the floor is slippery when wet on poolside therefore we must be careful not to slip over.
there is also the risk of downing in the pool as the water is deep is 1.8 meters at the deepest point of the main pool where we are likely to be filming.

there are first aid kits situated on poolside the main one being underneath the lifeguard chair.
there are 4 pool alarms which can be pressed if any serious accident takes place, staff will be there within seconds of this being pressed.

follow the standard rules of a swimming pool, being sensible. finally we must consider the Equipment and using it if we are wet. we shouldn't be plugging in lights if we are wet so we must ensure we are dry. be careful not to trip over any wires.
