The pool

The pool is a 25m, four-lane design with sensory lighting and sounds and a fully adjustable movable floor. Because the floor rises and lowers, the same water can be shallow for a toddler splash or a lesson and deep for lane training later in the day. A PoolPod ensures easy access for everyone.

The story

A pool that adjusts to you

The clever bit at Brook is the floor. It moves. That single feature lets one pool be a safe, shin-deep splash for a nervous toddler in the morning and a proper training depth for club swimmers later, without anyone changing venue.

Add sensory lighting and dedicated calm sessions, and Brook is built for families who've sometimes found busy pools too much. It's a modern, thoughtful local centre that opened to make swimming easier for more people in west Belfast.
