Make a splash at Queen's Park Sports Centre
Our pools
We have an eight-lane swimming pool with spectator seating and a learner pool equipped with a moveable floor and fun water features. Both pools are designed to accommodate swimmers of all ages and abilities.
The swimming pool has a hoist and graduated steps so that users can easily access the pool.
We run a range of sessions, including:
- swimming lessons - join our learn to swim programme to start your swim journey or improve your skills
- lane swimming - ideal for those looking to swim lengths
- aqua classes - join our fitness classes in the pool for a low-impact workout
- family splash - fun session for the whole family to enjoy together
- quiet sessions - suitable for those who experience sensory or anxiety in loud environments
- party hire
Our main and small pool timetables include swimming programmes for both adults and children.
Check our fitness class timetable for classes in the pool.
Before visiting please check our swimming pool admission policy for detail on pool ratios and other important information.
Family Splash
Every Sunday we hold a fun family session in our pool taking place at 2.30pm to 4pm.
The session includes toys, floats and sinkers and is aimed at families, although children aged 8+ can attend unaccompanied as long as they are able to competently swim at least 50m in the main pool.
It is advised adults swimming without children avoid these sessions.

- Adult: £5.50
- Child (under 16): £3.80
- Under 3: free
- Family (up to four people, maximum two adults): £15
Booking:
Advance booking is only available if requiring the small pool. Bookings will open six days in advance of the session where payment and contact details will be required. To book please call reception on 01246 345555 or visit reception.
Booking for the main pool is not required, however availability will be on a first come first served basis.
The pool closes at 2pm to allow for set up of the session and for other swimmers to vacate the pool and changing area.
Quiet sessions
Our leisure centres offer quieter sessions for our swimmers.
This is an opportunity to swim without music but does not guarantee silence from other users in this shared environment. These sessions can be ideal for anyone who experiences sensory overload, panic or anxiety in busy places or has an autistic spectrum condition.
The quieter sessions may change during selected school holidays, so please check with us to avoid disappointment.
