At Places Leisure, swimming lessons aren’t just about strokes and technique. They’re about growing confidence, learning skills for life, and discovering the joy of moving through the water. From little ones finding their confidence, to adults looking for a new way to stay active, to holiday intensives that help kids progress faster – Swim Happy lessons keep everyone motivated, smiling, and full of energy.
Pool Closure 24/08/2026
Due to a technical issue, our pools, sauna and steam room are currently closed. We are also experiencing fluctuation in our hot water supply for showers. We are working to get these fixed and hope to have them reopened later on this week. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience.
