Our St Austell Better Holiday Club typically involves the following activities:

• Swimming (for children over 8 who can swim 25 metres in a recognised stroke)
• Fun games and sports including kwik cricket, soft tennis, dodgeball, badminton and football.
• Opportunity to have some fun in the soft play (under 8's only).

Children attending need to bring a packed lunch and plenty of drinks.  They require sports clothing and if a competent swimmer and aged over 8 they will require their swimming kit.  We do have a Cafe at the centre if they wish to purchase any additional snacks and drinks.
