Professional-standard indoor swimming centre with a 50m adjustable pool, diving facilities, lane swimming, and junior membership options for under-16s. Free parking across the road.
Please keep your attention at Juniors membership here. Under 16 Juniors, if you pay for your child here straight for the whole year, it comes two months cheaper as the direct debit payment. It is only £159.80 for a full year( gym, classes, and swimming included). Fantastic price. Fantastic present for your family. There are a lot of parking spaces. Monthly direct debit will be £15.90 per month. It comes you save for yourself 2 MONTH FREE. Student direct debit will be £20/ per month(12 x £20=240. But straight for the all year payment will be only £200( gym, classes and swimming). Strongly recommend to look over this agreement. Unbelievable service, big building, cafe, and tables area for parents where you can use your laptop. You are really welcome. For more information, call them on a landline. Very good coaches. 1 minute walk from tennis centre and gym. But you really shouldn’t go to the bar here — the service is terrible and the sandwiches are awful. This café is at the main entrance to the water park.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families with children who swim regularly or competitively — the 50m pool and junior membership offer genuine long-term value. Casual visitors will find the facilities professional and well managed. Families planning frequent visits should consider the annual junior membership, which delivers significant savings over monthly payments.

“Great swimming pool with adjustable length 50m or 25m, and diving pool. Free WiFi, and free parking in enormous car parks. Note car park directly outside is for a maximum stay of 3 hours, car park across the road is for an unlimited stay (height limited entry to vehicles of under 2m).”
