Gosforth Pool
Since it opened in 1968, Gosforth Pool has been one of the city’s most popular facilities. It is a welcoming family centre with two pools, a two-floor fitness suite, an exercise studio and a sauna suite.
The pool offers a range of activities from general swimming to specialist sessions that include swimming lessons for babies, children and adults, aqua-fit, aqua-natal, and life-saving classes. There are also adult-only, women-only, and over 50’s sessions, as well as lane swimming and children’s fun sessions.
The Impulse Fitness Suite is a state-of-the-art facility, located over two floors, and re-fitted with brand new CV and resistance equipment. Bright and spacious with air conditioning, music, TV's, and drinking water, the Impulse Fitness Suite offers an excellent experience, which includes personal programmes to suit customer needs.

Alternatively you can relax in our brand new sauna suite with men-only, women-only or mixed sessions.
In 2011, improvements were carried out to improve the pool air, and the water temperature and quality. Changing facilities were also upgraded, as was the sauna and steam room suite. In addition, an activity room was added providing a studio for a wide range of exercise classes, including Indoor Spin Cycling, Zumba, Yoga, Pilates, Circuit Training and Body Toning classes.
With more activities than ever before available - there’s never been a better time to check out Gosforth Pool.
