Kind staff, accessible for prams and wheelchair users, bookings available for all sorts of swimming activities, water play gear available for purchase, lifeguards always patrolling, can purchase sessions at reception but best to book in advance to avoid disappointment in busy/peak hours, vending machine for hydration and snacks but no café. Standards for baby changing facilities and navigating around could be better. Although there's a café right outside, I have not gone to it at this time. Near the canoe lake, not far from the beach and lots of places to get ice-cream and play in the parks nearby. Great time for the kids.

I went for the first time today and had a great experience. A really friendly welcome from Henry at reception. The pool was well monitored by life guards. Changing rooms clean and roomy and all at a really reasonable price. I'll be back again 🙂

My favourite place to exercise! Staff are helpful and there is always a friendly atmosphere there. Can book a lane swim online and pay monthly to save money for regular swimmers. Would recommend a visit. You can also purchase a 3-hour parking permit for £26 per year.
