Plan your visit

The pool

The leisure pool is the star: a slide, a lazy river, a water mushroom and a baby pool all in one warm space. A learner pool is open during open-swim sessions for the little ones finding their feet, and during fitness swim you get fast, medium and slow lanes. The lazy river and slide don't run at every session, so check the timetable before you build the day around them.

Good to know before you go:

Swimming lessons and family open swims run through the week, and the lazy river and slide are timetabled rather than always on, so check what's running on the day you want to go.
