TRILOGY SWIMMING POOLS
From Wednesday 19 July 2023 we are removing the requirement to book swim sessions in advance at all of our centres, please just turn up. Please remember our centres are cashless and can only accept card payments.
Our swimming pool at Cripps Recreation Centre is for members only and is not available to under 16s unless attending swimming lessons.
About Our Swimming Pools
We operate four swimming pools across Northampton. Danes Camp, Lings Forum and Mounts Baths are open to our members and the public. Cripps Recreation Centre is a member’s only pool and it is not available to under 16s unless attending swimming lessons. Member swim times can be found here.
Please note we operate a strict policy for children under the age of 8. A ratio of two children under 8 years old must be supervised by one adult (16+) at all times. For our 11+ Fitness Swim Sessions, customers must be able to swim at least 50 metres of a recognised stroke and children age 11-13 must be accompanied in the water by an adult (14+ can attend by themselves).
