1 / 3Commonwealth games aquatic swimming pool
📍 Smethwick, West Midlands
Commonwealth Games legacy aquatic centre with a 50m Olympic pool, 25m dive pool with 10m tower, community pool, and 108-station gym. Hydraulic floors allow variable water depths across sessions.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with confident swimmers aged 6+. The 1.2m minimum pool depth rules out beginner toddlers. Hydraulic floors are a genuine draw — depth adjusts per session type. Older kids who want to try competitive-style swimming or watch diving will find this facility exceptional.

“State of the art facility, admin is a bit chaotic at the moment. Just 'teething' problems I expect. Excellent facilities for various sports. I hope the maintenance lives up to the conditions.”
