Our outdoor aquatics area features several pools, open from October until the end of April.
During those beautiful summer months, we invite you to come take a dip in our pools.
Why not try lap swimming– a low impact way to tone muscles and provide an all-over body workout.
Swimming lessons are also fantastic form of exercise for kids, because they won’t even notice it’s exercise and they’ll still get all the amazing health benefits!
We are an accredited Watch Around Water centre, meaning there are guidelines (see below) that must be followed when visiting us.
Whether you're intested in an aquatic membership or just want a casual swim (see our casual prices) – visit us during our opening hours!
