When the sun shines, The Rec is the place for exercise and relaxation. Both sides of the pool building retract, opening onto sun terraces, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing family day out.

When the weather cools, the 25 metre, deck level pool is fully enclosed under a state of the art domed roof, providing a comfortable swimming environment.
