Water Polo

Similar to handball but played in the water, Water Polo is a team sport which incorporates swimming and treading water.

Players have to pass the ball whilst being defended by their opponents and score by throwing the ball into a net defended by a goalie.

Water Polo is guaranteed to wear out even the most active children, requiring strength, flexibility and stamina; and it’s also a great sport to encourage a strong sense of team work!

Water Polo sessions are currently available at Northgate Arena as part of the centre’s Aqua Kids lesson programme. Call the centre directly for more information on how to get involved – 01244 380444.

Wet ‘n’ Wild and Family Fun Swims

Our Wet ‘n’ Wild sessions let the whole family spring into life and make a big splash with mats, balls, toys and a giant inflatable obstacle course.

Unfortunately the inflatable is restricted to competent swimmers only, at the discretion of the lifeguards. Children will be asked to complete a 50-metre swim before they can use the inflatable.

Don’t worry if you’re not quite up to it yet though as there’s still plenty of fun to be had elsewhere in the pool!

Family Fun and Family Fun Under 8 sessions are aimed at the under 8s and are the perfect way to stimulate your child in the water with the use of floats, toys and balls in a controlled and safe environment.

Wet ‘n’ Wild and Family Fun is available at:

Aqua Fit is an aerobics session in the shallow end of the swimming pool that is suitable for both swimmers and non swimmers.

Aqua Jog is a similar style class in the deep end of the swimming pool suitable for competent swimmers looking for more of a challenge. Both of these classes can help you to maintain and improve your general fitness.

The resistance of the water helps to tone your muscles and it is suitable for people of all ages and abilities. Participants can work at their own level by increasing or decreasing the amount of effort and using resistive equipment. Fitness classes for over 14’s. Casual Swimming admissions policy applies.

Aqua Fit and Aqua Jog is available at:

Known as the Zumba pool party these Aqua Zumba classes help you to really burn calories and lose weight in the pool.
