Dunoon Leisure
Swimming
At Riverside Pool, we offer something for everyone. Our teaching pool is perfect for young children to splash around and learn their first strokes. The main 25m pool is ideal for a relaxing swim, challenging workouts, and a variety of activities such as kayaking, water aerobics, and children’s fun sessions. We also host exciting pool parties in both pools, featuring options like funky floats; please ask at reception for details and note that payment is required at booking. Our Learn to Swim lessons cater to adults and toddlers, rookie lifeguards, children aged 3 and over, and adults. Join us at Riverside Pool for fun and skill-building for all ages!
