Crash Course Swim Lessons

 

This Easter we are offering crash course lessons, as well as catch up lessons for existing members, to have a chance to spend time perfecting their swimming, or trying it for the first time, for newbies!

Junior Gym

 

Junior gym is a dedicated session where teens and older children aged between 11-17 can access the gym and get active. All sessions have a qualified Fitness Instructor present, so if you are unfamiliar with any equipment, you can always ask them for advice. All juniors, however, are required to book and complete a junior gym induction prior to attending the junior gym session. Booking times during holidays are between 10am-12pm and 3.30pm-6pm (excluding bank holiday where closing time is 5pm). 

 
BOOK NOW

Adult and Junior Gym

 

Exercising together is not only a great way to stay active and improve your health and fitness but also to spend valuable time together. Our Adult & Junior Gym sessions allow every pre-paid adult to bring one junior (11-17 years old) with them for free. The reservation must be made by the adult who books the ‘adult and junior gym’ session with their membership (or pays as a non-member). Junior does not need to be booked into the session but must be supervised and accompanied at all times. Booking times are 9am-5pm during holiday dates.
