We’re excited to announce the launch of Social Swim Club at Keynsham Leisure Centre, offering a unique, relaxed swimming session for adults who want to enjoy the water without the pressure of competition.

Meet Millie – Founder of Social Swim Club

Social Swim Club was founded by Millie, a passionate swimmer and former competitive club athlete who knows both the intensity and the joy that swimming can bring. After years of training, Millie wanted to create a space that captured the best parts of swimming — community, movement, and wellbeing — without the pressure of chasing personal bests or competing for lane space.

Her mission was simple: to build a welcoming, non-competitive swim space where people could connect, unwind, and rediscover their love for swimming. And now, that vision comes to life at Keynsham!

Session Details

When: First Sunday of every month
Time: 7:30am – 8:30am
Where: Keynsham Leisure Centre
Post-Swim Treat: Enjoy a coffee in the centre café afterwards — because the chats are just as important as the swim!


What to Expect in a Session

Each Social Swim Club session is designed to be supportive, flexible, and fun — ideal for swimmers of all levels who want to keep active and feel good in the water.

Here’s how a typical session is structured:

Warm-Up (10 minutes): Easy lengths to get the body moving — think relaxed front crawl, backstroke or breaststroke.

Main Set (40 minutes): A mix of guided sets depending on your level and energy. This could include:

4 x 100m freestyle with 20 seconds rest
4 x 50m pull or drill work
Optional kick sets or stroke variety to keep things fresh

Cool Down (10 minutes): Gentle lengths, float and glide time — giving you space to wind down and enjoy the water.

There’s no pressure to complete every set. It’s your swim, your pace. 


How to Book
