OTHER INFORMATION
The Neptune Pool was opened in April 1998 and is an 8 lane deck-level pool with fully integrated Colorado timing and 8-lane scoreboard. The pool has a moveable floor allowing the pool to be set up specifically for competition. It is always the venue for Northumberland & Durham Counties Age Group Championships while it has also hosted the NEC Junior/ Senior Short Course Championships in past years.
The Neptune pool sits handily within 5 minutes drive of the main A66 which itself links into the A19 both from north and south.
For evening entertainment, there is a UCG multiplex cinema within five minutes drive of the pool, while further along the A66 towards Stockton there is Teesside Park which has a Showcase multiplex cinema, a tenpin bowling alley, a night club and various bars & restaurants including the chain restaurants of Frankie & Bennies, TGI Friday’s, Kansas Exchange, Pizza Hut etc. Middlesbrough itself has a wide selection of restaurants both cheap & expensive according to taste.
For some fresh air the North Yorkshire Moors are only a few miles away while down the coast there are the towns of Saltburn & Whitby, famous for its fish & chips (ideal for a good swim the next day!).
