Project Description
An ultra-modern swimming pool
Fully accessible. UV filtered. Environmentally friendly.
With a host of contemporary features, our 25m swimming pool is among the finest swimming pools in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme.
The temperature of the pool is 29ºC. However, the air temperature is 30ºC. This helps prevent evaporation and water loss, which means our swimming pool is more environmentally friendly and we can keep costs down. The pool cover also helps save around 30% on operating costs by trapping warm air.
What’s on offer?
Like many swimming pools in Stoke-on-Trent, we cater for serious swimmers, not so serious swimmers, families and anyone wanting to use the pool to get in shape.
Here’s an idea of what we provide at the centre…

A fully accessible swimming pool
We’re passionate about making our facilities accessible for each and every person who visits the centre. Our Changing Places room – which can be used for both wet and dry side users – and our state-of-the-art PoolPod™ allow that to happen.
Developed for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games, PoolPod™ is transforming pool access.
A huge thank you to Sport England for their support to provide such amazing equipment.

State-of-the-art features
So what makes ours one of the best swimming pools in Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme?
The temperature of the pool is constantly monitored by computer. It dictates how many of the six boilers need to be switched on to keep the temperature constant. It switches off when the heat is no longer required.
At 29ºC it’s one of the warmest swimming pools in Staffordshire. This does, however, adhere to Swim England guidelines for recreational swimming pools – making it the ideal facility for everyone.
