The Venue Borehamwood
A full 25m competition-length pool with exclusive lane hire. The venue for performance coaching, triathlon preparation and club swimmers.
The Venue Borehamwood
The Venue is located on Elstree Way, Borehamwood WD6. It offers a full competition-length 25m pool with exclusive lane hire for the duration of your session — no shared lanes, no other swimmers in your space. With excellent transport links and ample parking, we are the preferred choice for athletes seeking a professional training environment within a 30-minute radius of North London.
A 25m pool changes what’s possible in coaching. You train at real race distance, build genuine endurance, and develop the turns and pacing strategy you need for competition. No 10m pool can replicate this.

I've tried a few front crawl tutors but Stephen was the first to correct my basic - mental and physical - mistakes enough for me to be able to crack it.
“Excellent teachers”
