8 x 25m lanes make up our big pool with a depth of 1.8m in the deep end. Every lane has 2 x starting blocks, with diving permitted down the deep end. Depending on pool bookings, lanes are often dedicated for different swimming speeds and recreational activities. Signage will direct you on the day. The pool is indoor and heated at 28 degrees. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied or supervised by a guardian.
The little pool is available to anyone wishing to use a pool with less depth. It is suitable for children and at times water activities and stretching. The pool is also indoor and heated. There is seating available for parents and guardians to supervise.
