Lovely little pool and nice friendly staff and lifeguards. My daughter has swimming lessons here they're very patient and work to the child's ability and really help build their confidence. My daughter's had lessons elsewhere in the past and hated them as she had to go in by herself she loves them here as parents are allowed to stay and sit beside the pool for the duration of the lesson. The access road to the pool is very narrow though only allowing one car down at a time before turning into the pools car park.

My wife and I love this pool. We used to go there for adult swimming lessons. The pool is warm and clean, and the staff and volunteers are very welcoming.

Great, friendly and helpful staff. I had one to one technique improvement lesson and learnt so much in 30 mins! The pool itself is good, going to 2mts at deep end. Changing rooms a bit tired, but the pool has been awarded planning permission to make alterations.

Worth visiting if you are realistic about what you are likely to experience. This is not a state if the art pool; indeed it is far from it. The changing rooms can also get quickly full at busy times. However, it is a pool run by volunteers, who have invested time and secured funding to maximise the potential of the facility. There have been improvements throughout the time we have lived in the town and there are ambitious plans, to further improve the facility.
