Recreational Swimming

Public Swim

Open to all, these relaxed sessions are perfect for families, friends, or anyone who simply wants to enjoy a swim at their own pace.

Family Session: Every Sunday from 10:00 – 12:00, we run a dedicated family swim session, completely free for all members. It’s the perfect way to spend a Sunday morning together in the pool.

Baby Splash

A gentle introduction to the pool for little ones. These sessions are included free for Parent & Child members and are a lovely way to build early water confidence in a relaxed, playful setting.

What is Aquacise?

Aquacise is a fun, low-impact workout that takes place in the water – making it suitable for everyone, regardless of age, fitness level, size, or experience. It’s also a fantastic option for those with specific needs, including injury recovery, medical conditions, and ante/post-natal exercise.

The buoyancy of the water supports your body, reducing strain on joints, while still giving you a full-body workout that leaves you feeling energised and refreshed.
