Here’s a shocker: this entire complex cost £42 million to build. That’s roughly the same budget as a minor Hollywood blockbuster, but instead of a CGI explosion, you get a real splash. And surprisingly, it didn’t bankrupt the council. They actually built it on time – a feat more miraculous than any double-backflip off a diving board.
It opened in 2026, which makes it practically a newborn in the world of leisure centres. You won’t find any sticky carpets from 1987 here. The floors are so clean you could eat your lunch off them. Please don’t, though. The lifeguards will judge you.
