At Alive we have 4 fantastic swimming pools for all ages and abilities to enjoy
It is with regret, following the government guidelines issued on Monday 16 March, that all Alive venues will be closed from 5pm on Friday 20 March until the end of April.
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 for further details.
Our excellent swimming pools are a great place to dive in, keep fit, relax or keep the kids amused.
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.
