Swimming Pool - Highworth Recreation Centre

Picture of the poolWhen the sun shines, The Rec is the place for exercise and relaxation. Both sides of the pool building retract, opening onto sun terraces, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing family day out.

When the weather cools, the 25 metre, deck level pool is fully enclosed under a state of the art domed roof, providing a comfortable swimming environment.
