Arkley Private Pool
The Arkley pool is a dedicated, entirely private 10-metre heated pool. It is not a public pool, not a leisure centre, not shared with other swim schools. When you arrive, the pool is yours.
The water is kept at a consistent 30°C — significantly warmer than any public pool. Warm water reduces muscle tension, aids relaxation and makes learning far easier. For nervous swimmers and aquaphobia clients, this alone makes an enormous difference.
- 10m pool with shallow and deep ends
- 30°C heated — warm and comfortable year-round
- No public access — private for your session only
- Private parking directly outside
- Private changing facilities on site
- Mon–Fri availability
