The Rapids

About

Experience a world of water fun and adventure. An all-year-round tropical water wonderland.

Ride the Rapids. A swirling canal of foaming water. Zoom the flume high above the pools. Relax in the spa pool. A huge, warm bubbling jacuzzi.

Fully trained lifeguards keep a discreet watchful eye over your safety and enjoyment. A special ‘ozonation’ process limits chlorine and maintains the Rapids water in the very best condition. Overall water temperature is a constant 85F with the temperature and environment creating a tropical water wonderland.

There’s something for everyone at the Rapids; Rapids ride, flume, bubble seats, pirate galleon, tipping bucket, treasure chest and much more.

The 25m fitness pool and the learner pool also have easy access for disabled and less confident swimmers.

Our café has a good variety of drinks and snacks, with appetising hot and cold food for the whole family to enjoy, looking over the water activities. Or why not sit back in the peaceful Costa Coffee lounge.

Please note: Children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult. A bather admission policy exists.

Other activities include; Children’s soft play structure, health and beauty, health suite, studios and fitness suite.
