If possible you would make your way to the nearest fire exit. The staff are responsible for clearing their designated areas and would assist you as necessary e.g. using the pool hoist to help you exit from the water. The passenger lift cannot be used in the event of a fire but the platform lift can still be used as means of escape from the first floor gym. A designated refuge point is marked in the event of emergency escape being impossible due to the situation of the fire. If you have any concerns a staff member will talk you through this during your gym induction or first visit to the pools to reassure that you will be safe
