Facilities: Pool
The pool is 25M, Six Lane. It appears to be a conversion of a 33 1/3M pool as there is a boom at the shallow end that makes a small pool, suitable for warm-up and swim-down. There are anti-wave lane lines. There are large windows on the east and south sides.
Facilities: Car Parking
The approach to the pool from the town centre is past the pub. The chimney for the pool heating system is visible.
Parking is free. The normal car park is not adequate for all the competitors, so on-street car parking is used.
The entrance to the pool is from the car park.

There is no cafeteria. But there is a vending machine area with seating upstairs.
Facilities: Seating
The seating extends along the north side and is accessible to swimmers by stairs at the starting end. Take care if the stairs get wet and slippery.
