Best for little ones learning to splash and older kids building up their strokes, with a long-running lessons programme that's taught local families for generations.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
The pull here is a genuinely warm toddler pool with toys and a baby play pen, paired with a deeper pool for older children working on strokes, all at modest cost. The catch is the changing rooms, which can run cold and occasionally carry a whiff from the nearby toilets, so plan to change quickly rather than linger.

“There are two pools with a very warm one for small children with fun toys and a larger one that's up to 3m deep for serious swimming and is pleasantly warm too. The showers are good and the changing rooms are clean. And it's very affordable. What more do you want from a pool?”

“I had swimming lessons there about 50 years ago and passed my gold. Now I'm taking my grandchildren and it's great to see them have lessons. Very popular place. Plenty of parking spaces and staff were really friendly. Small sweet machine at the exit with reasonable prices.”

“Lovely little place to swim, baby pool hasn't long been done up and is lush. Plenty of changing room in the women's and caters to babies/small children with a little play pen and a plastic bit to put them in to dry. Viewing gallery is a bonus”

Overview
Two pools sit side by side here: a toasty shallow one dotted with toys for the littlest paddlers, and a larger pool running up to three metres deep for proper swimming and stroke practice. Swimming lessons have been a fixture for decades, and plenty of grandparents who earned their badges here now bring the next generation along. Good showers and easy parking round it out.
