Sunderland Aquatic Centre

People in Sunderland have some of the world's very best swimming facilities right on their doorstep thanks to the new Sunderland Aquatic Centre, which officially opened on 18th April 2008.

The Aquatic Centre has a full programme of family fun sessions, learn to swim and aquafit classes, diving courses and parent and toddler sessions and more. It has something for all ages and abilities, from beginners to young athletes and those who simply want to splash about.

Built next door to the Stadium of Light, it is the only one of its kind between Leeds and Edinburgh.  It features the region's first 10 lane, 50m pool as well as a spectacular diving pool with five metre, three metre and one metre platforms. The centre also has two Wellness exercise studios, a split-level Wellness centre, a cardio-cycle zone, kinesis zone and free-weights zone for everyone to enjoy.
