Swimming Pool
There are two public pools at the Amphitheatre; a small pool with a slide and water features and a 25-metre main pool. The versatility of these pools enable them to be used for a variety of activities including; public swim sessions, aqua fit classes, dedicated lane swimming as well as being available to hire for children’s parties.
As well as the main pools we also have a dedicated learner pool. With a depth range up to 0.9 metres, this pool is ideal for introducing smaller children to water.
For those wanting to start swimming we offer learn to swim classes for all age groups from parent & baby through to adults. All of our lessons are taught by qualified instructors who will help to develop your confidence both in and around the water.
During School and Swimming Lessons use of the pool is restricted. For more information contact reception today on T: 028 9335 8342. Please note Sunday operating hours are 9am to 4.30pm.

Under-16s must leave both pools by 8.45pm every weekday evening to allow for Adults Only Swimming.
School sessions will be held during term time however there will be a lane system in operation to enable public swimming to continue.
During peak times (evenings and weekends), session swimming may be introduced to avoid overcrowding in the pool; check with Amphitheatre staff to avoid disappointment.
Please note that we reserve the right to close areas of the centre from time to time at our discretion, e.g. for maintenance repairs, refurbishment or cleaning.
