It is the best pool, I learned how to swim here.
I hope it is around for a long time!! Thank-you,

Dived here for 8-9 years from 94-2002, my favourite
pool! Regardless of Sheffield and Manchester, this
is where I grew as a diver!

I used to dive here in twenty years ago or so. I
attended the GBDF AGM, so went back the following
week to enjoy the boards. I was not allowed to any
other than a forward take-off half rotation. What
a shame! How can British people be safely
challenged if this attitude continues!

I currently have lessons here, and it's a good pool.
It's a friendly atmosphere but it's a shame that
unless you bring proof you are not permitted to do
much more than a forward dive! My only wish is that
it would have more boards but oh well. it's great!

I have diving lessons here and I must say my diving
instructor is really nice. I think this is a great
recreational pool but the lifeguards are really tight
as they wont let any public divers do any more than
a forward dive.

Great facilities, best boards for miles & miles
around. Such a shame the attitude is so restrictive.
Forward dives only, no somersaults, not even any
whacky jumps allowed. How are the kids ever going
to learn?

Phil - what proof are you talking about? I have
plenty of medals but am still only allowed a fwd
dive...
