Littlesea Holiday Park Pool (Indoor)

Rainy days on holiday can be a proper nightmare with kids in tow, which is exactly when this indoor pool complex becomes your best friend. The facility sits within Haven's Littlesea Holiday Park, just a short hop from Weymouth's seafront, offering families a reliable splash-about option when the Dorset coast decides to throw a wobbly.

Inside, you'll find a decent-sized main pool plus a smaller toddler area - nothing fancy, but perfectly adequate for burning off excess energy. The water's kept at a comfortable temperature year-round, and there's usually enough space to actually swim rather than just bob about in a crowd. Families staying at nearby parks like Chesil Beach Lodge Park often pop over for a swim session.

This isn't a destination in itself - don't make a special journey. But if you're already camping in the area and the weather turns grim, it's well worth knowing about. The pool tends to be busiest mid-morning and early afternoon, so early birds or evening swimmers often find it quieter. Give yourself an hour or two maximum - kids will either love it or get bored fairly quickly, and there's not much else to do once you've had your swim.
