Features

  • Main Pool: The 4-lane, 16.7m Main Pool is suitable for swimmers of all abilities, whether training or enjoying a leisurely swim. The depth ranges from 0.8m to 1.8m, making it appropriate for both beginners and experienced swimmers. Disabled hoist access and egress points are available to ensure full accessibility. Three water cannons add extra fun, and a steam room provides the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate after swimming.
  • Toddlers Pool: The Toddlers Pool is designed for the youngest swimmers. With a gentle water depth of 0.5m and playful finger jets, it offers a safe and enjoyable environment for toddlers to explore the water. The pool helps build comfort and confidence while encouraging children to learn essential water skills in a playful setting.
  • Child Swimming Lessons: Teaching children to swim from a young age is one of the most valuable life skills. A positive experience in the water helps build confidence, stay safe, and develop a lifelong love for swimming. In 2017, the National Framework for Swimming in Scotland was adopted, providing a structured pathway to track a child’s progress with clear, national standards. Through fun games and activities, children learn important core swimming skills such as breathing, submerging, and moving in water. As confidence increases, swimming strokes are introduced gradually to enhance technique and enjoyment.
  • Learning Resources: Swimming should always be fun. Helpful resources are provided to make learning enjoyable, including fun pool games, essential water safety tips, and inspiring stories from athletes. These tools support both parents and children as they navigate swimming milestones together.
  • One-to-One Swimming Lessons: For children needing extra support or wanting to focus on specific skills, one-to-one swimming lessons offer personalised guidance. These sessions complement group lessons and are tailored to help build confidence, correct techniques, and accelerate learning in a supportive environment. Contact the Centre for more information and to book a session.
