Came here so the kids could try the aquadash inflatables. Good viewing area out at the poolside. Kids had a great time. Inflatables were ina square with various obstacles which all the kids had a great time on. Highly recommend if the larger one is unavailable in th3 commonwealth pool.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Solid local pick for families with children learning to swim or wanting inflatable sessions without the crowds of larger venues. The birthday party setup with bouncy castle and trikes is a practical, contained option. Reception service is inconsistent β€” pool-side staff draw far better feedback than front desk.

β€œFriendly kind staff, no problem is too much for them. Really enjoying the casual swimming it’s usually not too busy so you can get a good swim in and you can always swim in lanes if there is room. Great local pool.”

β€œOnly been here for kids birthday parties, but it's been really good for those. Nice big hall to run around in, little trikes and toys for kids and a bouncy castle too. Always a hit with the wee ones. Can't comment on the rest of the facilities but looks like a standard council leisure centre so probably pretty good.”
