About Hetton Community Pool & Wellness Centre
Hetton Community Pool & Wellness Centre is one of the newer leisure facilities in the Sunderland area, built in Bernard Park in Hetton-le-Hole to serve the Coalfield communities. It is operated by Everyone Active and has a 25m main pool alongside a smaller learner pool, which suits younger children and those building confidence in the water.
The centre runs a swimming lesson programme for children and adults, public swimming sessions and pool parties, along with gym and wellness facilities. It is open Monday to Friday 7am to 9pm and at weekends 8am to 4pm. Timetables, lesson availability and booking are handled through the Everyone Active website and app, so it is worth checking the current pool programme before a visit, as lanes and the learner pool are split between lessons, clubs and public sessions across the week.
