Detailed "Highlights"

  • The Soft Play Facility: This custom-built indoor multi-level structure allows children to climb, dash, and slide in a fully padded, safe framework. It is ideal for allowing younger kids to burn off high energy safely on rainy days.
  • The 25-Metre Main Swimming Pool: A spacious, fully indoor aquatic area that anchors the centre's family swim and lane swimming sessions. It provides older kids with the space they need to practice strokes or splash safely with friends.
  • The Teaching Pool: A smaller, shallower indoor water arena specifically tailored for younger children and nervous beginners. This creates a calmer, warm environment for toddlers to adapt to the water without feeling overwhelmed.
  • The Squash Courts: Two high-quality, enclosed indoor racquet arenas perfect for introduction to fast-paced racquet sports. Older kids and teenagers can build hand-eye coordination while experiencing an active friendly match.
  • The Refreshed Technogym Suite: A fully updated fitness suite showcasing the latest cardio and resistance equipment. It gives parents and older teenagers a sleek space to stay active while younger children are looked after.

Beyond the Main Attraction

  • New for 2026 - Major Infrastructure Upgrades: The local council has approved a comprehensive multi-million-pound investment plan to progress a completely new state-of-the-art leisure facility on site, including enhanced layout features and expanded parking infrastructure.
  • The On-Site Café Zone: A welcoming breakout area that serves hot coffees, healthy refreshments, and snacks. It offers parents an excellent viewing vantage point to supervise children or unwind after a demanding workout.
  • The Health Suite and Saunas: A dedicated wellness zone that features individual male and female saunas located inside the main changing village. This serves as an ideal adult retreat for parents to unwind immediately following a family session.

Facilities

  • Changing Rooms and Showers: The centre features accessible unisex changing spaces, dedicated family cubicles, and accessible showers.
  • Buggy Parking and Lockers: Secure lockers are provided across the changing village, alongside wide corridors that accommodate pushchairs and buggies comfortably.

What to see

What Visitors Love

  • Welcoming Staff Members: Families frequently mention the kind and encouraging nature of the swimming instructors and lifeguards.
  • Value for Money: The casual pay-as-you-go pricing for pools and soft play areas represents brilliant, affordable weekend family fun.
  • Brilliant for All Ages: The multi-pool setup means toddlers can learn quietly while older siblings swim in the deep main pool.
  • Clean Changing Facilities: Parents appreciate the layout and tidy nature of the accessible changing village spaces.

What Visitors Don't Like

  • Peak Booking Bottlenecks: Weekend family swim times fill up extremely fast, occasionally making walk-in entry difficult without an app booking.
  • Aged Exterior Elements: A few areas feel slightly dated, which has directly prompted the council’s exciting new rebuild initiative.

Pro-Tips for Parents

  • Check the Timetable: Family fun swim sessions and lane swims run on strict schedules; check the live Everyone Active app prior to your arrival to secure a slot.
  • Under-8 Swim Policy: Remember that a strict adult-to-child supervision ratio applies in the pools, meaning children under eight must be closely supervised by an adult in the water.
  • Pre-Book Soft Play: To avoid missing out due to capacity caps during peak weekend hours, always secure your child's soft play ticket digitally beforehand.
