So it’s perfect if you want to be more active and stay healthy whatever your age or ability. We try to make our centre as accessible as possible and our Pools have many different sessions that takes place. Some of these sessions are Women’s only, Accessible Swim sessions, School lessons, Aqua classes and swimming lessons for both Children and Adults.

Swim for Fitness

We are lucky to have one of the most eye catching indoor pools with natural light during the day due to our glass roof and a well-lit but relaxing environment in the evening. This is the perfect pool if you’re looking for a low-impact way to get fit and healthy, with continuous lane swimming for over 11s. Our Swim for Fitness sessions take place in slow, medium and fast lanes, so you can take things at your own pace. The Willes Pool is 3m deep and 30.5m in length, and is equipped with a hoist making it accessible to those who require it.
