Inclusive Activities at Rivermead Leisure Centre

At Rivermead Leisure Centre, we want everybody to feel included. That's why we've created a programme of a range of different activities to allow people from all walks of life, and with different abilities, to take part in sports and physical activity in an environment that suits and is catered to them. 

Our inclusive gym membership provides access to gym, swim and classes and costs just £26.00 per month (adult) or £16.00 per month (junior). Additionally, if you'd rather pay as you go, sign up for our free Concessionary Card as this provides up to 50% discount on Pay & Play activites.

Swimming and Swimming Lessons

Inclusive Swimming

This is a bookable swimming session specifically for anyone with a disability.

This session is different from our other sessions as it has reduced numbers to provide a calmer atmosphere. Staff will be on hand to operate the Pool Pod for those who need support to access the pool. 

However, please note that the pool pod can be operated during any of our timetabled swimming sessions, meaning all of our swimming sessions can be accessed this way if you would prefer to access a different session. 

Carer's can accompany an individual for free.
