The pool’s constant depth of 1.2metres (just under 4 feet), ensures there is no ‘getting out of your depth’ and its large size means it is suited to serious swimmers as well as those who want to simply splash about and release the cares of the day.
For those who want to know the distance they have covered, the pool’s size makes it easy to do so – three lengths equates to 50 metres, six lengths to 100 metres, and so on – and this means it lends itself to fitness training through swimming, which exercises the whole body but does not put pressure on the joints.
As there are four sets of spacious changing rooms, you don’t have to rush to get out before the next swimmers arrive, so you get a full 30 minutes’ swimming time.
