1 / 3Commonwealth games aquatic swimming pool
📍 Smethwick, West Midlands
Commonwealth Games legacy aquatic centre with a 50m Olympic pool, 25m dive pool with 10m tower, community pool, and 108-station gym. Hydraulic floors allow variable water depths across sessions.
Fantastic venue, plenty of parking, loads of staff to guide you, and the pools are amazing. They have hydraulic floors enabling variable water depths. State of the art gym. Also all types of classes available
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with confident swimmers aged 6+. The 1.2m minimum pool depth rules out beginner toddlers. Hydraulic floors are a genuine draw — depth adjusts per session type. Older kids who want to try competitive-style swimming or watch diving will find this facility exceptional.

“State of the art facility, admin is a bit chaotic at the moment. Just 'teething' problems I expect. Excellent facilities for various sports. I hope the maintenance lives up to the conditions.”
