When 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.

• Adult and junior swimming courses
• School holiday intensive swimming courses
• Aquafit sessions
• Casual swimming sessions
• Laned swimming sessions
• Masters swimming sessions

• Wet 'n' Wild sessions

We also have a 3 metre diving board and a 1 metre springboard.
