Swimming There are 2 pools in the new Ashington Leisure Centre, the main pool is 25 metres and will have 6 lanes. The deep end of the main pool has a moveable floor and dividing boom that will offer the flexibility of further space to operate swimming lessons and aqua classes. Whilst the boom is in place, the 6 lanes will become 16 metre lengths. The studio pool will be ideal for beginners, young children and swimming lessons. If you would like to enquire about swimming lessons at the new Ashington Leisure Centre, please speak to reception. Both pools have fully accessible changing facilities.
