Best for families with children who want a splash session in a deep pool with a slide, jacuzzi and rapids, run by staff parents genuinely warm to.

โœ“ Friendly, helpful staffโœ“ Slide, jacuzzi and rapidsโœ“ Water sessions run slowly

๐Ÿ† Funzaroo Verdict

The draw here is a genuinely welcoming team and a pool that keeps children busy with a slide, jacuzzi and rapids. Weigh the cold, tiled changing rooms and the chilly walk to the water against that, and expect splash sessions that can run slowly and feel short-staffed when busy.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กBring warm layers and something for cold feet, as the changing rooms and the corridor to the pool run cold
โฐVisit at quieter times to avoid overcrowding in the swimming changing area
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธFor water sessions, be ready to find the changing rooms yourself and allow for slow changeovers between slide and rapids
๐Ÿš—Check the centre's policy before filming yourself in the gym, as recording is not permitted

โ€œGreat, friendly place. Every member of staff is professional and puts you at ease. From Tina, on reception, that remembers everyone and that nothing is too much trouble for, to Leanne who competently leads the cardiac rehab, NERS etc classes. Leanne is encouraging with a great sense of humour when dealing with a bunch of older, often daft exercisers!! The only grumble is that the swimming changing area can get a bit overcrowded at times.โ€

โ€œI rlly like the swimming pool, really nice, has a slide, jaccuzi, and rapids Its ideally deep, 1.8 meters Life guards are nice. the centre does need refurbishment, as the changing rooms are so cold, tiled floors(which is dirty) and the hall way leading to the pool is even colder, especially leaving the pool Lots of ppl complain abt it>It would be nice if u did put heating where the coldest areas are tho. for some odd reason there is a nice looking curved bit* which is cordonned off? Apart from all the things i have said, its a good placeโ€

โ€œNice little Leisure centre. The water mania needs to be organised more efficiently. We arrived early but did not get asked if we had been before, spent 3 minutes looking for the Changing rooms. Then during the session it took the staff almost 10 minutes to change from slide to rapids. Friendly staff but not enough on duty to maximise the session.โ€

Overview

The main pool goes to a swimmer-friendly 1.8 metres deep, with a slide, a jacuzzi and a rapids run to keep children circling back for more. Reception staff are the sort who remember your name, and the lifeguards keep a friendly eye on things. It is a smaller, old-school leisure centre doing the fundamentals well rather than a flashy water park.
