Timetables

We are currently in the process of moving to a new system, this means our timetables have had to change slightly for a short period of time. To find your local leisure centre's swim timetable please go to the find a centre page

Remember you no longer have to book in advance for your swim session. You can just turn up for your desired session, but we would advise to arrive 15 minutes before your session as they will be filled on a first come first served basis.
