Competition Facilities
Officially opened on 18 April 2008, the Sunderland Aquatic Centre provides some of the best facilities in the country.
Built next door to the Stadium of Light, it boasts the first 10 lane, 50m pool in the area. In addition, it has a spectacular diving pool with five metre, three metre and one metre platforms.
- Olympic size swimming pool
- Diving pool
- Free car park
Car Parking
A large, free car park is available, which is ample for most events. However, as Sunderland AFC's Stadium of Light is directly opposite the Aquatic Centre, no parking is permitted in the vicinity of the pool on match days due to security concerns (correct as of Nov 2008).
It is strongly recommended that visitors check this beforehand.
The following car parks are close by (15mins walk):
