Pendle Wavelengths Swimming Pool

The 25m swimming pool at Pendle Wavelengths has a gently sloping beach which edges into the warm water, ideal for young children and a nice place to sit and watch them play.

For the bigger jobs the leisure pool also has a ceiling high water slide (that's mainly open flume but includes a black hole feature!) plus a wave machine that fills the pool with swell at regular intervals!

It's pretty strong so be sure to start out in the shallows when the waves start and get the hang of things before progressing, especially if you're not the only body that you're having to keep up! And be sure to wear a costume not a wet-suit as there are no zips allows down the slide.

There's also a Junior Fitness Zone for 8 to 15 year olds which is an excellent introduction to cardiovascular fitness but you've got to walk the walk too because an adult has to train with them.
