Swimming

Why swim?

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. With Better, you’ll have access to a local indoor swimming pool near you, as well as many more across the country and even some outdoor lidos. From swimming lessons and lane swimming sessions to family fun swims, Better offers everything you need to take the plunge, build confidence, develop lifelong skills and get active while having fun in the water.

Swim for all

No matter your fitness ability, our Swim for All sessions are perfect if you're looking to build your confidence, work on your strokes, float away any stress, or just simple want to enjoy a more casual swim with your family and friends. 

Swim for fitness

If you’re looking for a low-impact way to get fit and healthy, swimming could be the perfect choice. Our Swim for Fitness sessions take place in slow, medium and fast lanes, so you can take things at your own pace. Bookings available online (click the link below) or via the Better UK app.
