Swimming at Sir James Altham

Swimming isn't only a great form of general exercise, it can also be soothing, relaxing and best of all great fun!

Swimming is an excellent way to tone up and trim down. Just swimming a few lengths can involve most of the major muscle groups, giving your body a great work out.

The other big advantage of swimming is that water supports your weight and takes the stress off your joints, so you can put your body through a good work out without your knees, hips or spine paying the price.

Whether you are looking for wet and wild splash sessions, a venue for a kids pool party, a relaxing swim or an invigorating work out – we have the pools for you!

Please be advised that during the Adult Only Lane Swimming session on Thursday evenings between 8pm and 9pm, half the pool will be separated and utilized for staff training on the following dates:
