Changing information

About our facilities

At High Life Highland, we aim for the highest standards of inclusivity. This page shares helpful information about our changing and showering areas so you know what to expect before you visit.

Changing areas at Tain Royal Academy Community Complex

Our facility is proud to be recognised by the Changing Places campaign.

Changing Places facilities differ from standard accessible toilets, offering extra features and more space to meet the needs of all customers.

We provide dedicated changing areas for customers who require additional assistance. These areas include:

• A height-adjustable, adult-sized changing bench
• A tracking hoist system
• A shower
• Adequate space for the disabled person and up to two carers
• A centrally placed toilet with room on both sides for carers
• A large waste bin for disposable pads

The Changing Places area is located in the community corridor next to reception.

Wetside Changing

Customer changing facilities for the pool are gender-specific areas.  There are no changing cubicles - the female changing area is open plan, with curtains avalable for use in the showers for privacy.  The male changing area is all open plan with communal showers.

Most showering facilities on the wetside are communal and intended for a quick rinse, with swimwear remaining on.

Group changing rooms are also available for visiting clubs, groups, and organisations.

Lockers are located throughout the changing rooms and operate via a key that can be hired at reception.

Dryside Changing

As the sports centre is of an older architectural design, the changing facilities are gender-specific communal layouts.

Each changing room leads to its respective shower area. Male showers are communal, while female shower area consists of an enclosed cubicle.

Private changing and showering facilities are available on request - please speak to a member of our team.

Lockers on the dry side are located in both changing rooms and operate on a cash-free mechanism.
