Swimming
Leisure pool 
The leisure pools have been designed with family fun in mind. For the children, there are 2 breathtaking flume rides and a flow pool with fan sprays, geysers and whirlpools. For the toddler, there is a separate shallow pool with a children's beach area, bubble jets, mushroom spray and slide. There is also an invigorating spa pool (jacuzzi) for both parents and children to enjoy. It is not necessary to make a booking to use the swimming facilities but customers should be aware that owing to high demand the leisure pool may operate a 1½ hours sessions system at weekends and during school holidays.
Competition pool
This state of the art 25 metre pool has been designed with total flexibility in mind. Fitted within the pool tank are 2 floating floors, which can be raised or lowered, and a retractable boom, which divides the pool lengthways. This flexibility maximises the pool programming opportunities for:
- public swimming
- fitness lane swimming (including early bird sessions from 7am weekdays)
- swimming lessons from adult and child through to adults only classes
- aquafit classes
- swimming for people with disabilities
- swimming gala's and club/squad training sessions
Users with disabilities
There is access to all pool areas for customers with disabilities; a hoist is available to gain access to both the leisure and competition pool. Please do not hesitate to ask if you require assistance. Our staff are always happy to help.
