SwimTech Swimming Pool Locations in Newcastle 

At SwimTech Swim School, we are proud to offer swimming lessons across two convenient locations in Newcastle upon Tyne. With the choice of our very own exclusive swimming pool at Greenfields Community Primary School in Wideopen and the excellent facilities at Benfield Sports Centre, families across Newcastle can easily access high-quality lessons in safe, welcoming environments. 

Both of our pools are carefully chosen to give swimmers the best possible experience. Whether you’re looking for pre-school swimming lessons, children’s learn-to-swim classes, adult sessions, or 1-to-1 tuition, our venues are fully equipped to support every stage of your swimming journey. 

SwimTech Wideopen Swimming Pool – Greenfields Community Primary School 

Taylor Avenue, Wideopen, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE13 6NA 

Our very own pool at Greenfields Community Primary School is at the heart of SwimTech. Since acquiring exclusive use of the pool in 2010, we’ve been able to offer lessons here six days a week (Monday to Saturday), creating a truly dedicated environment for our swimmers. 
 
Having full control of the facility means we can provide a calm, consistent, and safe space where swimmers feel at ease. With no other groups using the pool, lessons run without distractions, giving our learners complete focus and attention. Parents and guardians love the convenience and friendly atmosphere of our Wideopen pool where they can observe next to their swimmers on poolside. Children thrive in this familiar, supportive setting. 

This pool is perfect for beginners, pre-schoolers, and younger children who benefit from a warmer, smaller environment with full focus from our instructors.
