Our purpose-built Ipswich pool was officially opened by Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies MBE on Saturday 27th June 2015, and has been making waves in the local community ever since.
Designed with swimmers of all ages and abilities in mind, the pool offers a friendly, welcoming environment where everyone—from beginners to more advanced swimmers—can thrive.
We run swimming lessons every day, and trial lessons are available on request to help you get started.
