The new facility will include a 25m, six-lane main pool and a 20m four-lane teaching pool with moveable floors for maximum flexibility as well as a large gym and two group exercise studios. It will also feature the council’s fourth Move Hub, a power-assisted exercise studio equipped by Innerva for people who need support to improve strength and mobility, including those recovering from health conditions.

An adventure play area will help promote physical literacy, confidence and social development in children, while the café will offer a space for families, friends and the whole community to relax and socialise.

The integrated public library and community space will provide opportunities for learning, cultural events and programmes. An outdoor active area and community garden complete the project.
