25m indoor pool, full-size Astroturf pitch, climbing wall, gym, and sports hall at a school sports centre open during evenings and holidays. Free weekend access for under-12s. Group swimming lessons available for all levels.
Close to home both my boys learned to swim here , one moved to professional squad , both having this skill for life. I had 1to 1 swimming lessons, it’s basic sport centre but it’s all you need.

“Quiet sports centre that operates outside of school hours. The swimming pool is only available to members on weekends, though does offer free under 12 access which comes in handy in the holidays. They offer a few classes throughout the week that cater to a mixture of abilities free with the membership or £5 for non members. They also give you a free 1 hour court session each month. Staff don't seem bothered by much and spend a great deal of time talking to themselves.”

Overview
Eric Liddell Sports Centre operates outside school hours, giving the public access to a 25m pool, full-size floodlit Astroturf pitch, climbing wall, and sports hall. Swimming lessons run across group and one-to-one formats with qualified instructors. Exclusive pool party hire is available on weekends. Under-12s access the pool free at weekends. One review flags murky water and infrequent draining — worth asking staff about current pool maintenance on arrival.
