   Will rate three stars as never been before but I will be coming in June this year on holiday. So will rate again then. Can you scuba dive here and can the staff take my pool pictures on my go pro? Changed rating to 5 stars as of July 2025. Been almost a month since my last visit. Enjoyed every minute of lot. Enjoyed the shallow pool more because it was so hot.

   I swam in this pool for the first time. I enjoy outdoor swimming and decided to try this one which is only 15 miles from my home. It's a bit hard to find and access if you don't know it, and would benefit from clearer signposting, but it is a pleasant surprise. I'd booked in advance, but you don't have to. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and it was encouraging to see a not-quite-so-fit member of staff on the desk instead of the usual super-fit staff at most leisure centres who can be aloof if you aren't fit yourself. The changing rooms are clean and well-proportioned, with plenty of lockers which only cost a returnable £1 to use. Exit is straight to pool side. There were lanes divided for swimming lengths and only a few people in the pool at 9am. Although the surroundings of hhe pool could do with being updated, it's not unpleasant. There are 3 pools to suit families' different needs and the main pool I swam in was lovely and clean and warm. I'll definitely be returning for more swims.

   I visited today with my 9 year old son and his friend. Such a lovely place. The pool and changing facilities were clean & tidy. The staff were lovely and friendly. We ate food in the cafe. Reasonable prices and efficient service. We will definitely be back. Thank you for a great morning.

   Hidden gem... heard about this place, but always thought the 100 mile round trip excessive for a swim... not any more... kids loved it.. main pool is easy the warmest outdoor pool I have swam in (and that's a fair few), two toddler pools seemed even warmer which the kids loved... flue runs on the half hour and is long enough to get a shout out of the older kids..... the on site cafe is great, food is well priced and there is coffee and cakes for parents. The General Swim sessions go on all day so once you're in, you're in..... the play park at the rear of the is also a welcome distraction and a good space for picnics.... .What3Words: dolls.purest.decency (its a bit tricky to find)

   Lovely outdoor 25m main pool + learner pool, paddling pool and flume. We went for the adult lane swim session and the pool was heated to around 24°. We booked in advance via the website (but I think we might have been the only ones that did). Session not too busy - around 12 people in the pool, so plenty of room. Ample changing rooms - communal changing with cubicles plus separate male/female changing rooms. Warm showers and clean toilets. Well maintained lockers (£1 refundable). Attentive lifeguards and a good cup of coffee from the cafe. Free parking on site.

   Very friendly staff, one of the pools has warm water which was a treat for the kids, nice sitting area, good cafe, clean changing facilities, a giant slide which does not drop into the main pool but is a water slide. Safe and clean overall. Prices are for full day which is also great!

   So lush to go with family and friends or even just yourself. The sweaty car journey and the long waiting definitely was worth it!! Definitely paying a trip back!

   For a long time I have been looking for an outdoor swimming pool with warm water like this center. We enjoyed a lot in the summer atmosphere. There are three swimming pools of different sizes for infants, children and adults. The slide is very fun and the staff is very friendly.
