Fantastic little indoor pool situated beside a park. It has a water park, a shallow kids pool, and a larger laps pool, as well as a sauna and spa. The facilities are clean and the staff are helpful. There's always a lane for swimming/walking, which is enforced.

Read moreA 33.3m indoor pool that is just over waist height on me. Great for swimmers and walkers with a few lanes allocated to play at certain times during the day. Timetables on website are up to date. Also has spa, sauna and children’s pool. I started with swimming and have now changed to mostly walking with some swimming to break up my sets of walking. I can walk 50 lengths in the pool, which is far more than I can do without stopping when out and about, yet my legs and lungs get a great workout. Lovely staff, clean facilities, highly...
