Saturday
Free Drop-in Recreational Swim with Inflatable
Spend Saturday afternoon cooling off in the pool and spending time out of the sun at Emerald Hills Leisure Centre. It’s a drop-in free swim and the inflatables are in the pool. Though the swim is suitable for all ages, the inflatables are best for the under seven crowd, as it’s a smaller scale! Older kids will have fun in the deep pool, with the floating toys, and younger kids in the wonderful (and warm) toddler pool.
