Burnham pool
The Burnham pool is 30 metres long and caters for lane swimming and defence fitness testing. The facility has a shallow children's pool for use when open to families.
Formal defence training sessions are conducted as per the timetable at the pool entrance; these sessions take precedence for pool use. The pool has a duty lifeguard operating it's when open.
The facility is managed by the Southern Regional Support Centre (not the gymnasium staff) as a camp facility.
