Good all round sports centre, with a pool. They run activities for kids during school holidays which my son really enjoys.

Nice and clean swimming pool. Staff is very friendly too. My only grievance is that there are way too few lane swimming sessions. For this reason, a membership isn't really viable, especially since the adult swimming lessons don't seem to be included but have to be purchased extra. So all in all, too expensive for what's on offer. It's a shame because I found this to be one of the better pools in the area and would have loved to make more use of it.

The pool is very pleasant, the changing rooms are very nice with showers, stalls, lockers, hair dryers and a centrifuge to dry your swimwear. The online booking is quite annoying to set up but once you get it to work its fine.
