There's space to change and leave bags and toilets. We're not planning to do anything purposefully dangerous, but GoodGym takes no responsibility for your safety during group runs, you participate at your own risk. Participants accept full responsibility for items stored at London Aquatics Centre , and London Aquatics Centre & GoodGym will not be held liable for any losses / damages.
