Our pool & facilities

Our newly refurbished pool is heated to a pleasant 33 degrees, so no more shivering in the shallow end. As well as a poolside makeover, we have also fully refurbished our changing rooms, including brand new shower and toilet facilities. At our small and friendly Leisure Centre, you’ll find two viewing areas, perfect if you’re coming along to watch a session. One inside, and the other outside, under shelter. However, please note that all children must be accompanied by an adult in the water.

The depth of the pool ranges from 1m in the shallow end, gradually getting deeper to 1.8m in the deep end, and you access the pool directly from the changing rooms.
