About Mount Wise Swimming Pool

The free Mount Wise Swimming Pool has a cool 25 foot main pool plus a small paddling pool ideal for younger children and a separate fun packed activity pool whose delights include fountains, stepping stones, whirl pool and bubble pool!

There's also a sunbathing terrace available where you're allowed to picnic (no glass ware permitted obviously) so that's a nice spot to warm the kids up if the water's a little chilly and equally good to keep nan and granddad busy relaxing while everyone has a dip and splash!

It's completely free so naturally it's very popular in high summer, so because of that they quite rightly run 2 hour limits so everyone can get a turn. There are swimming lessons available here too but you need to be a member in order to use them which carries a nominal charge, well worth it to keep them safe in the wet stuff.
