The Hive leisure centre on the A10 near Ely is planned to reopen tomorrow. Saturday 25 July. For obvious reasons a number of systems have changed.

• The activities on offer at this stage will be limited to swimming, exercise classes, and fitness suite. 
• Fitness equipment will have been moved or relocated, and classes moved for maximum space.
• Pool capacity will be set to four double lanes only, and the spectator area closed.
• All visits will need to be pre-booked and pre-paid; there will be no reception, coffee point, or cash payments. Staff will be available to guide visitors, assist with enquiries, and exceptionally take contactless payment.
• Visits will be limited to one hour including arrival and departure, with swimming and gym slots spaced at ten-minute intervals, and classes scheduled to avoid groups arriving and leaving at the same time.
• A one-way system will be in place throughout the centre. Visitors will be able to use different activities successively (eg gym and exercise class) if they wish, but will need to pre-book in each case and leave and re-enter the building separately for each activity.
• No changing facilities will be available, except for pool users post-swim; and lockers will not be in use.
• A standardised national pricing structure is being adopted for this period, because payments are online and company-wide across the country.
