Nice swimming pool complex October

[pipsy76]

Hi, hoping for inspiration, I want to take my boys away for a weekend in October half term whilst DH is off sailing. We love the centre parcs swimming pools but not the price can anyone suggest anywhere in the east or South East with nice indoor pools? Thanks

If you can handle Butlins foodwise etc, the one in Bognor Regis has a really good swimming complex, we used to go there for days out, mostly for the pools

The Sandcastle at Blackpool is good. Very close to the family friendly Blue Hotel, the pleasure beach and the amazing illuminations.

Kelling Heath in Norfolk has a lovely pool but it's more of the spa type rather than the 'Fun'. That said there are lots of activities for the boys to do on the site as well and there is a council run splash/wave/flume place not far away in Sheringham.

Just come on to say Butlins at Skegness has one of the best pool complexes in the uk , far better than any centre parcs at the moment, but accommodation and food maybe not so good

I would also say try Butlins if you can cope with cheap & cheerful (sorry, I know from past threads not everyone on MN can).

There are also a few Haven parks in that area - have a little look at their website. The pools will be in the individual park photos.

I've just remembered that there's a Park Resort complex on the IOW that has a decent pool complex too & the IOW is lovely - though the Bognor Butlins pool is better
