Swimming Pools & Lessons

At meadows we offer you a choice of swimming pools. We offer a small pool available for a gentle dip - ideal for new swimmers or parent and child sessions, or our large 25m pool ideal for swimming a few lengths or for the advanced swimmer.

If it's an early morning dip you're after, why not join us for our early bird sessions with both the large and small pools open for public swimming from 7:00am Monday - Friday. Ladies, if you want to try something new with the girls, why not join us for our ladies-only sessions every Wednesday night at 8:00pm or Aqua Fit every Tuesday?

As well as public swimming sessions, we also offer a range of swimming lessons to suit all ages from babies to children to adults; there's something to help everyone gain their water wings.
