50m Pool: Our superb 50m long course pool has been fully refurbished and with the use of a boom can be split into two independent pools. This gives us the flexibility of a 23m shallow pool at 1.2m deep, perfect for family or recreational swimming. The other half then creates a 25m, 2m deep pool, perfect for fitness swimming. We have a superb range of sessions available.
Diving Pool: Our Diving Pool is 25m long and has 3m, 5m, 7.5m and 10m platforms, as well as 1m and 3m spring boards. The pools depth is controlled by a moveable floor meaning it can be a multipurpose space suitable for Diving, Swimming Lessons, Water Polo and our very own Tom Daley Diving Academy.
