Swimming

Swimming

Swimming is a great all-round exercise, working almost every muscle in your body without putting stress on your joints. So it’s perfect if you want to be more active and stay healthy whatever your age or ability. From swimming lessons and swim for fitness lane swimming, to swim for all family fun swims. Leytonstone Leisure Centre offers everything you need to take the plunge, build confidence, develop lifelong skills and get active while having fun in the water.

 As part of the Waltham Forest Council-funded initiative, we offer young residents (under 18) free swimming during school holidays (Junior Pay As You Go membership required). This offer is extended to residents of Waltham Forest 60+, Armed Forces staff and People with a Disability during off-peak times, 9am-4pm on weekdays and after 1pm on weekends (Pay As You Go membership required).
