Facility Notes
Cascades is a beach-style, leisure pool with a tropical, 30º, water temperature. Features include a small splash pool with elephant slide for toddlers, cascading water fall, water jets, mushroom fountain, wave machine and two water slides – Typhoon & Twister. Photos of the pool show no lane lines and all evidence suggests that it is not suitable for lane/lap/length swimming.
Facility Reviews
Not a great pool for lane swimming, unless you belong to one of the clubs. Lanes are available for the public only early in the morning or at lunchtime, and then just two lanes, neither particularly wide. The lifeguards often don't put up fast andslow signs, it's impossible to swim properly. The pool, itself, appears clean and well maintained.
It’s getting rather unkempt, the men's showers have not worked for at least five months, but the pool is nice and warm.
