Swimming has incredible benefits for both your body and mind and is a low-impact way to exercise, no matter what your fitness abilities. We have a whole timetable of swimming sessions, from family swims for splash-tastic fun for all ages to lane swimming and casual swimming for those looking to improve their fitness.

We have three fantastic swimming pools; a 25m competition pool for dedicated lane swimming, a training pool perfect for introducing children to swimming and our Pirate Pool for a great family day out with flumes and wave machine.
