Accessible facilities

At New Addington Leisure Centre, we’re committed to making sure everyone enjoys their visit. That’s why we offer a wide range of accessibility features throughout the centre.

Our accessibility features include:

Pool Hoist: Enables wheelchair users and individuals with limited mobility to safely and easily enter and exit the pool.
Accessible Changing Rooms and Changing Spaces: Spacious and equipped with support rails, non-slip flooring, and emergency pull cords to ensure safety and comfort.
In the Gym, we provide accessible fitness equipment, including bikes with movable ramps for wheelchair users and machines featuring Braille for visually impaired users.

To ensure easy access throughout the building, the centre is equipped with two lifts, providing access to both the first and second floors.

Inclusive Swim

Designed specifically for individuals with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). These dedicated sessions offer a quieter, more accessible, and welcoming environment for swimmers to enjoy the pool.

Held every Sunday at 3:00 PM, the sessions provide a relaxed atmosphere away from the usual crowds. The pool temperature is maintained at a comfortable 29°C, and a dedicated changing village is available to ensure a stress-free experience. These are not swimming lessons but rather a time for individuals and their families to enjoy the water at their own pace in a less stimulating setting.
