If you’re looking for a low-impact way to get fit and healthy, swimming could be the perfect choice. Our Swim for Fitness sessions take place in slow, medium and fast lanes - available to suit all speeds and needs to ensure you get the most out of your swim. Additional fitness swimming equipment including goggles, swimwear and swimming aids are available to purchase at reception.
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.
Experience the excitement of play challenges, races and family fun on the water with Aqua Splash - an exciting, inflatable obstacle course that is laid out in the swimming pool.
Designed for adults and children, Aqua Splash is a perfect day out for the whole family.
Sessions will run from 12-3pm Monday-Saturday over the summer holidays.
Children using the inflatable must be competent swimmers.
We recognise that for some of our female customers swimming in a women’s only environment is their preferred way to exercise. That’s why we’ve committed to providing weekly women’s only swimming sessions.

• Pre Cleanse
Please help us to keep your pool clean by following our Swim Hygiene guidelines by showering and using the toilet facilities before you swim.
• Respect
People of different standards and abilities will use the pool. Please respect their right to enjoy their swim.
• Speed
Choose your lane using the fast, medium and slow signs and by watching those already swimming. Before pushing off at each turn, check to see if anyone faster is approaching.
• Direction
Please follow the directional signs and move across to the appropriate side of the lane for each length.
• Space
Try and leave at least 5 metres between yourself and another swimmer and if it’s possible to see a pace clock, then a 5 second gap is just as good.
• Strokes
Wide stokes such as butterfly and breaststroke should be avoided when the lanes become busy. If you change to a slower stroke as part of your session, think about moving lanes.
• Equipment
Fitness swimming training equipment, such as fins and hand paddles, is permitted at the discretion of the lifeguard and based on capacity. Snorkels can be used in conjunction with conventional swimming goggles.
• Resting
Whether stopping for a rest or catching your breath after completing your swim, please be mindful that others using the lane will want to keep on swimming without stopping.
