At Alive we have 4 fantastic swimming pools for all ages and abilities to enjoy
Alive centres and venues are open and operating under current government guidance. There may be some changes to your activity. Please see our Reopening after lockdown page for further information and guidance.
Our excellent swimming pools are a great place to dive in, keep fit, relax or keep the kids entertained.
Swimming is a great way to improve fitness, tone up and burn calories. It is low impact meaning less risk of injury and is great for rehabilitation.
All of our pools run a varied swimming programme for all ages and abilities including dedicated sessions for uninterrupted swimming, adults or ladies only and sub-aqua. If you’re a beginner or want to improve your swimming stroke, our approved ASA swimming lessons can help.
