At Alive we have 4 fantastic swimming pools for all ages and abilities to enjoy
In line with current government guidance all Alive venues will remain closed until further notice.
The health and wellbeing of our customers and staff is our top priority. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will update our website and social media with any new information. For full details please visit: COVID19 (Coronavirus) page
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.
