Activities

Swimming is a healthy activity that can be enjoyed by everyone. It's an excellent and relaxing way to exercise as the water supports the body, so less stress is placed on joints and bones.

We offer various levels of swimming at our centres:

• Swim School
• School Swimming
• 1-2-1 Swimming Lessons

 What swimming does for you?

• Tones almost every major muscle in your body and many minor ones as well
• Burns calories
• Regulates breathing
• Stimulates circulation
• Soothes the mind
• Improves stamina
• Improves cardiovascular (heart and lungs) fitness
• Offers a non-impact environment, unlike running or weight training
• Provides social interaction, either through clubs or meeting friends

But don't just take our word for it. Click here to view our timetables and see what’s on offer.

 

The new gym reopened in September and the sports hall, Warwick hall, and the youth facilities will be completed mid-2012.
