Pool Swimming Sessions

Disabled Swimming

Accessible swim sessions are designed for people with disabilities, additional needs, or those who require assistance in the water. Active Lifestyle Centres have pool hoists to help you in and out of the water if needed. Lifeguards are waiting to help you and your carer (if needed). Carers access this session free of charge. Active Lifestyles Dursley also has a fully functional changing places, change facility.

Inflatable Fun

Open to everyone, this session is a chance to get rid of some excess energy have some fun with your family and friends. Serious swimming this is not. To turn up the fun we will play music during this session. Booking advised.

These sessions are for swimmers. The speed of the lane is dictated by the swimmers in the lane.

To make sure you all enjoy your swim we politely ask that you follow the swimming etiquette for lane swimming.
