Swimming

Five Rivers boasts impressive swimming facilities that offer something for everyone. The centre has three pools:

Main pool

A 25m, 8-lane pool that is ideal for serious swimmers, learners, clubs and those swimming for leisure. A laned area is often available for those who want to swim lengths.

Teaching pool

In termtime, this pool is used mainly for teaching. In holiday times this shallower pool is ideal for families with young children. Beginners may also want to use the pool to gain confidence.

Beach pool

The beach pool is Five Rivers' leisure pool. A flume (tube slide) is available, as are other water features. The pool also has two spas. The beach pool is ideal for those who want a relaxing dip and is deep enough for adult swimming.
