We offer all kinds of water based sports and excercise.

Swimming is an exercise that is open to virtually everyone, and as a non-weight bearing activity it is one of the best and most fun ways to get fit.

At the Northgate Arena we ensure that there is something to satisfy everyone’s needs offering swimming lessons and swimming lanes through to more relaxed, fun family swim sessions.

Leisure swimming (open from 12noon weekdays & 10am weekends with extended hours on school holidays!)

Unlike the sterile atmosphere of a rigid lane pool, at the Northgate Arena you will find a freeform leisure pool that incorporates a six lane, 25 metre, area. It starts from a beach section and gradually gets deeper until it reaches a depth of 3.2 metres. So, shallow enough for young families to mess about and have fun in and deep enough for the more confident swimmer.

Training Pool

Specifically designed to accommodate the more serious swimmer, lessons and fitness classes, this pool has been designed so that it is never more than 1.2 metres deep. This is a four lane, 25 metre swimming facility that gives even more choice and options.
