SEN-sational. We went for our first SEN session, and thoroughly enjoyed a chilled family swim. The outdoor shower was almost as much fun as the pool. The large disabled wet room has with plenty of space to assist getting changed. The after-swim snack tables were a great distraction whilst the rest of the family got changed. Free Sunday parking right next to the pool for easy transition to/from the car. 🌻 We'll be back. I slightly struggled to find the sessions on the website - just head straight to booking and they're easy to find.

We had a fantastic visit. Lovely personal welcome, all instructions were super clear. Changing rooms, toilets and showers were immaculate. Pool crystal clear. Topped off afterwards with a nice hot drink by the pool. Thank you for a lovely evening. First time outdoor swimming! Great even if water colder than expected.

A lovely and zingee lido pool, manned by friendly staff. Quirky old-school shower and changing facilities, sauna and plenty of tables to sit and enjoy post-swim coffees and fresh snacks from the cafe. Sited in the centre of Petersfield and adjacent a good sized carpark, getting there is straightforward. Check the website to book sessions and check the timetable to confirm times when children can use the pool.

We have been a few times for a cold water swim, welcome event, sauna and ice bath. We have used the cafe. The people are so friendly, pool is really clean, good price, just wish it was open even longer hours.
