Visited this pool twice with my daughter during our stay in Cambridge. The pool was clean and nicely warm, which made it comfortable for kids. It has a fixed depth of 90cm throughout, which is really convenient for children who are still learning to swim, as it gives parents peace of mind. A great little spot for a family swim session!

The park has been renovated in winter 2023/2024 and now has brand new equipment. Can't wait until it warms up a bit to use the new slides, castle, zip line etc.

This is a shallow pool with a high water temperature suitable for babies and young children. It is conveniently located and there is a carpark. The changing rooms are very small and cramped, incredibly hot and have lockers that only take the old (non legal tender) £1 coins.

Small pool. It's there purely for teaching, not for anyone just to rock up . Check out the website and work stuff out. Small communal changing rooms but you can go into a private room if necessary. The team are youthful and full of fun. My son enjoys it and is progressing well.

The size and temperature of the pool is great for babies and toddlers. There are free parking outside. There are classes and swimming time for public.
