A bit about swimming
Swimming is a great way to stay physically active and we’ve got an activity for you, whatever place you’re into. You can maintain and develop your fitness with our lane swimming sessions, learn to swim whatever your age with our development sessions or just enjoy a splash around to stay healthy. And it could save your life.
Is the pool the place for you?

Let's get you started
You can enjoy swimming at a variety of sessions and fit them in to your weekly schedule either before or after work, during your lunch break, at weekends with the family or during the day. See our timetable below for session times and prices.
Check out our swim shop in reception for costumes, towels, goggles and lots of other brilliant swim accessories to help improve the enjoyment of your swim.
If you find your place in the pool then you may benefit from a membership which could save you money.
