Pool features

Bubble burst

In this part of the pool you can sit back and float away your troubles in a separate area of wonderful bubbles. There is a raised area along the edge which you can comfortably sit on (still beneath the water level) and several jets that shoot water from underneath. In the middle of this area are more vigorous jets that shoot quite high out of the water to keep the kids happy. As with all of the other jet systems in the pool, these were turned on and off at different intervals, and so when they are on the kids can hurl themselves into the water jets from every direction!

Water cannon

Watch out you may get wet! Dodge the water spray if you can and dare the lifeguard to get you.

Water mushroom

Fun time! Run in and out, or just sit underneath the curtain of water.

Bubble beds  

In the Quiet pool relax on the wide ledge put you feet up and enjoy these bubbling beds. Watch for the bubbles if you have toddlers some love to walk in this fun environment.

Wild waves

Enjoy the excitement that the wild waves bring either in the deep or on a beach – awesome fun for all of the family.

Wacky water flumes 

There are 2 flumes, the 55 metre ‘yellow screamer’ and the 45 metre red turbo ‘flume of doom’ which have both been upgraded and are two of the smoothest but hairiest rides you’ll ever experience. Strictly for the over 5’s. Both slides will provide a few rides of fun for the young and old alike. The kids will love them loved them. Both flumes are both partly covered and open to add to the enjoyment. At the top it is covered for obvious safety reasons and then once you’ve hurled yourself down and get into the swing of things the cover is removed and those queuing to ride can see you in your full motion glory so watch your expression and mind you’re not wearing a wandering bikini! When you are almost to the end of the ride it is once again covered and you are thrown into a small area of water… now looking at your very best to be greeted by your kids or mates at the bottom saying ‘wow look at your speed’. Check out the speedometers at the bottom to clock your speed and time!

Outdoor pool

Open May – September every weekday from 4:30pm term time and all day. During weekends and Holiday time weekdays from 11:00am weather permitting) the outdoor pool is a breath of fresh air. Here you can let the gentle flow of the water float away your cares as you let the water guide you around the gentle rapids in the fresh air. When it’s time to return to the rest of the pool, you simply fight against the current and go back through the door where you came out. Although this part of the pool is only suitable for competent swimmers and most swim-aids are not permitted here, the rapids are not that fast and so providing novice swimmer(s) are accompanied by an adult you will all enjoy the ride in safety.

Lazy river ride

Go with the flow and jump on a raft down the lazy river or get carried away through the churning waters. If you fancy taking it easy inside the pool, jump on one of the big floats available and let the indoor mini rapids pull you around before returning you to the main pool at the end. 

Beach area

For the younger ones this area is designed like the seaside with shallow walk-in water rather than steps, getting deeper the further you go in. It is deep enough for the learners to swim in but also shallow enough to be able to stand. In the centre of this area is a large mushroom fountain which operates on and off throughout your stay.

Relaxing spas

If you fancy a break from the cooler temperature of the main pool, then head off up the stairs to one of the two warm and relaxing spas. Just sit back, unwind and let the cares of the world drift away. Children must be accompanied by an adult in these areas and only 6 people are allowed in each spa.

The Oasis operates it's Pool Programme in accordance with Bedfordshire Schools. All features will be available all day during the holidays and weekends and from 4.30 pm: Monday to Friday during term time. Waves only will be available from 12.00 pm.
