Swimming
We have two 25 metre swimming pools, one at the Nene Centre in Thrapston and the other at Splash Leisure Pool in Rushden. Splash Leisure Pool has a beach area with fun water features as well as a flume. Both pools offer a great programme of water-based activities to suit everyone, making it a great place for the whole family.
