Mactaggart Leisure Centre

Swimming Pool: Our 25m x 8.5m four lane pool has a tiled step entry to the shallow end (0.9m) which slopes to a depth of 2m at the deep end. The water temperature of our pool ranges from 29.5’C for general swimming, 30.5’C for parent & toddler sessions and 31.5’C for Aquacare therapy sessions.

We also have a waste heat recovery system which provides energy from neighbouring Bowmore Distillery to help heat the water.

Fitness Studio: Probably the best view from any gym in Europe! Our gym overlooks the Loch Indaal with magnificent scenery. The gym is fully equipped with a range of both cardio vascular & fixed resistance machines. These include a treadmill, X trainer, Concept 2 rowing machine, recumbent cycle and two spin bikes. If you are unsure on how to use any of these machines, Introductory lessons can be booked to ensure you get the best gym experience you can in the safest way possible.

Sauna: We have a lovely 5-seater eco sauna which boasts colour changing LED background lighting to provide you with the perfect relaxing environment. This sauna is a great way to relieve the stress of the week or simply wind down at the end of the day. Your swimming session is included in the price of admission.

Howat Activity Room: This large activity room is available to hire for meetings or functions with seating space for up to 35 people. Full audio and visual facilities are provided, including a wall mounted 50” TV with a high-quality surround sound system. Kitchen and toilet facilities available. This wonderful facility can be accessed via stairs or our new platform lift which provides very convenient disabled access. This activity room is a popular choice for children’s parties and is often combined with a session in the swimming pool with our large 20m inflatable.
