The Fish Tank is a centre for children’s swimming and activity. We’re fast becoming the place to meet for new families. We have a heated swimming pool, coffee shop and a large variety of fantastic activities on offer, all in a family friendly and supportive hub.
The Fish Tank Swimming Pool runs at a minimum of 32°C. The perfect temperature to bring your little ones without them needing a wetsuit. You can find out more about our pool here.
The Fish Tank swimming pool is 10 metres long and 6 metres wide. It is 1.2 metres deep.
You can bring your baby swimming with us from birth as our pool is guaranteed to be a minimum of 32°C, as recommended by the NHS, STA, Swim England and PAS 520 baby and toddler swimming guidelines.
We insist on a double nappy system for all babies and toddlers to avoid any leaks into the pool, keep it clean and open, and save any embarrassment. Our experienced team can help advise you on the best products for your baby or child’s age and size.
We have scheduled times for lessons (5+), activities, parties, private groups and open swim sessions. You can book all your swim sessions, lessons and other activities here.
Swimming lessons at The Fish Tank are offered by The Happy Swim Company. They offer sessions most days of the week including weekends and they are fabulous.
