The pool at Grand Central is 50m long with eight lanes, jumbo anti-wave lane ropes and electronic Omega timing in operation, with continuous scoreboard display. There are designated areas available for land training for all squads, and the centre’s main strength and conditioning gym located above the pool is benefitting from a programme of expansion and equipment upgrading.

Stockport Sports Trust and British Swimming have invested extra resources in the facility to support the Intensive Training Centre (ITC), providing a brand new High Performance Land Conditioning Suite complete with all the latest technology and equipment including a new camera system and technical analysis area.
