Swimming is a great all-round exercise, working almost every muscle in your body without putting stress on your joints. So it’s perfect if you want to be more active and stay healthy whatever your age or ability. We try to make our centre as accessible as possible and our Pools have many different sessions that takes place. Some of these sessions are Women’s only, Accessible Swim sessions, School lessons, Aqua classes and swimming lessons for both Children and Adults.
We are lucky to have one of the most eye catching indoor pools with natural light during the day due to our glass roof and a well-lit but relaxing environment in the evening. This is the perfect pool if you’re looking for a low-impact way to get fit and healthy, with continuous lane swimming for over 11s. Our Swim for Fitness sessions take place in slow, medium and fast lanes, so you can take things at your own pace. The Willes Pool is 3m deep and 30.5m in length, and is equipped with a hoist making it accessible to those who require it.
Our swim for all sessions takes place In our Grafton or Small Pool. The Grafton is fully accessible with a Pool Pod and a Hoist. The small pool is advertised for families with Under 5’s. No matter your fitness ability, our Swim for All sessions are perfect if you're looking to build your confidence, work on your strokes, float away any stress, or just simple want to enjoy a more casual swim with your family and friends.
