[09/10/21]   ❗ Unfortunately the spectator areas at Sobell Leisure Centre are closed, with no public access permitted, with immediate effect.

Spectating for parents/carers of children in Junior Learn to Swim were provisionally reintroduced, with a series of rules put in place– including maximum spectator numbers and the wearing of masks – in order to protect our community and staff, and reduce the risk of further transmissions of Coronavirus, which remains prevalent in RCT.

It has become increasingly difficult to enforce these rules to the point the risk to our community and staff – especially in light of the current infection rates across Wales and the UK today’s warning from Welsh Government regarding the spread of the virus – is to too great.

Therefore, we have no choice but to close all spectator areas. We will continually and constantly review the situation and reinstate the spectator access at the earliest opportunity.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for your continued support in this matter.
***************
Yn anffodus, mae rhaid cau ardaloedd y gwylwyr yng Nghanolfan Hamdden Sobell ar unwaith, ac ni fydd mynediad i'r cyhoedd.

Cafodd y cyfle i rieni/cynhalwyr wylio eu plant mewn gwersi nofio ei ailgyflwyno dros dro, ac roedd cyfres o reolau ar waith, gan gynnwys uchafswm nifer y gwylwyr a gwisgo gorchudd wyneb. Roedd hyn er mwyn diogelu'n cymuned a'n staff, ac i leihau'r risg o ledaenu Coronafeirws ymhellach, a'r cyfraddau'n parhau'n uchel yn RhCT.

Mae wedi dod yn fwyfwy anodd rhoi'r rheolau hyn ar waith. Mae bellach wedi cyrraedd y pwynt lle mae'r risg i'n cymuned a'n staff yn rhy fawr, yn enwedig o ystyried nifer y bobl sy'n dal y feirws ar draws Cymru a'r DU ar hyn o bryd, a'r rhybudd a ddaeth heddiw oddi wrth Lywodraeth Cymru.

Does gyda ni ddim dewis, felly, ond cau'r holl ardaloedd i wylwyr. Byddwn ni'n parhau i adolygu'r sefyllfa, a'r bwriad yw ailagor ardaloedd y gwylwyr cyn gynted â phosibl.

Ymddiheuriadau am unrhyw anghyfleustra a diolch am eich cefnogaeth barhaus.❗

Ar ddiwedd eich sesiwn nofio, ewch â'ch blwch i giwbicl yn yr ystafell newid sy'n cyfateb â rhif eich blwch i sychu a gwisgo. Mae pob blwch a chiwbicl yn cael eu glanweithio'n drylwyr ar ôl cael eu defnyddio. Does dim modd defnyddio'r cawodydd.
