Quick answer
East Riding Leisure Haltemprice in Anlaby has a 25-metre pool and a small pool, so it suits a rainy day. Everything below was read on the official pages on 13 November 2026. Then, an off-peak child swim cost £3.90 and a family swim £17. Under 3s swim free. You cannot book general swimming, and the timetable often changes at short notice, so check it before you travel. Children under 8 must have an adult in the water with them. The official pages do not suggest a visit length.
