Swimming

Swimming is a great form of all-round exercise. Regular swimming can reduce the risk of chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and stroke. It can also boost your mood and keep your weight under control.

Your swimming experience

Some swimming sessions such as Family Swim and Fun and Floats may require pre-booking to guarantee a space. This is available at our online booking page. You will need to book one space per individual, not one space per family in these sessions where you're bringing more than one person. Booking is still available directly at reception in all leisure centres or over the phone if you prefer.

Contact details for all leisure centres can be found on this webpage
