A 22-metre Art Deco pool dating from 1937, run by community volunteers since 2022. Warm water suits younger children and nervous swimmers. Deep end access is restricted — confirm current policy before booking.

Good swim, lovely warm water. I can see it needs a bit of TLC, but a really good evening. I will return. I have now returned, and the building is getting the TLC, a little way to go, but looking very good.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with younger children wanting affordable, warm-water swimming in a characterful community setting. Toddlers and early learners thrive here. Older children expecting deep-end freedom may find the current restrictions frustrating — call ahead to check what's available before the trip.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

💡Shower at home — the communal showers run very hot and are tightly spaced
Confirm deep-end access policy before visiting with older swimmers
🎟️Volunteer staff are welcoming; arrive a few minutes early for lessons
🚗Building renovations are ongoing — expect gradual improvements each visit

Pool is nice. Gym looks good and staff so friendly. The reason for the missing star is because i don't like the showers. Temp is someimes too hot and they are so close together. I shower at home

Overview

A 22-metre Art Deco pool with original curved ceiling from 1937, managed by community volunteers. Offers swimming lessons for children and adults, family swim sessions, aquafit, and accessible sessions for people with disabilities. Smaller lane count means a quieter atmosphere than larger municipal pools. Showers are close-set and run hot — many regulars shower at home.
