Exclusive swimming sessions at the Manchester Aquatics Centre!

 

Exclusive swimming sessions are held in a private pool at 12.00-1.00pm every Monday for only £1.00 at the fabulous Manchester Aquatics Centre which held the Commonwealth Games swimming events.

Due to refurbishment the private pool is closed so people are encouraged to take part in disability sessions in the main pool area at the same time.

Swimming is an excellent way to keep fit! Many people enjoy it and like the idea of swimming in the private pool without the public being around. If you are interested in being part of the swimming group please contact Margaret Tyson (contact number below) or contact us (left):

Sessions are held in the training pool (which is completely private). People will need to arrive in plenty of time to get changed. There are 2 trainers. Sessions will be geared towards what everyone wants. Better swimmers can have a lane cordoned off whereas non-swimmers can be taught. People can have a serious swim or just splash about! A hoist will be available for those who want/need it.
