General Fun Swim
A fun swim session is the whole pool open to the public for one hour with music, toys and noodles. You can bring your own small inflatables for this session.
Our cafe, seating area and green space do not need to be booked.
Price
Under 5s are free.
Join us in supporting your local swimming pool CIC. Our ticket pricing follows a “pay what you can afford” approach, ensuring everyone can take part. Children under 5 can enter for free, but please remember to book their space in advance. If you’re able, we encourage you to consider making an additional donation—every extra pound helps keep the pool running for the whole community, and with Gift Aid, your generosity goes even further at no extra cost to you.
For example, a standard entry is £5. If you wish, you can add a donation of £1.50, making your total payment £6.50, and with Gift Aid, this brings an extra 38p to the pool. Similarly, a £5 donation on top of your entry brings your total to £7.50, and Gift Aid adds another 63p. A £3.50 donation adds an extra 88p. Every ticket and donation, big or small, truly helps to keep our doors open for all.
Timings
The session is for one hour. However, if the following session is quiet, lifeguards may allow longer swims. This is based of lifeguards discretion. .
Age range
Open to all ages, however under 8s must be accompanied by an adult.
Ratios:
1 adult (16+) can bring up to 2 children under 8 (U4s must wear an attached buoyancy aid)
