At Alive we have 4 fantastic swimming pools for all ages and abilities to enjoy
We are delighted to begin our phased reopening of facilities from 25 July. We will be implementing a number of operational changes to make visiting as safe as possible. Please see our reopening after lockdown page for more important information.
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.
