Swimming at Glass Mill Leisure Centre
Swim for Fitness
Our Swim for Fitness sessions are held in a 25m pool and cater to various fitness goals and technique improvement needs. They consist of lane swimming and are designed for competent swimmers aged 11 and above (11-17 year-olds should have club-standard swimming skills).
Swim for All
Swim for All sessions truly cater to everyone's needs. Whether you're seeking to create memories with your loved ones, take a relaxing dip with pals, or simply find some peace of mind, this is the perfect session for you! Come join us and make the most of your swim time.
If you've got little ones in tow, no worries! Just make sure one adult swimmer is keeping an eye on up to 2 under 8s or non-swimmers.
Trans and Gender Diverse Swimming
To ensure our pool timetable is inclusive and welcoming for all of our community we offer a weekly Trans and Gender diverse swim. The session takes place every Friday night at Glass Mill Leisure Centre between 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
This session is open to members and non members and takes place in an enclosed pool space shielded by privacy blinds. We have dedicated changing areas that lead directly onto poolside to ensure users have safety and privacy throughout their visit.
Swim for 60+
This session provides a welcoming and supportive environment for seniors to engage in physical activity and improve their overall health.
Swimming provides a low-impact workout that focuses on building strength, flexibility, and balance, while also improving cardiovascular endurance and improves mental health.
Whether you are a seasoned swimmer or a beginner, the Swim for 60+ session offers a great way to stay active and healthy while enjoying the many benefits of swimming.

Parkinson's Swim
Starting in September Glass Mill Leisure Centre will start hosting 12 weeks of reduced rate swimming sessions for people with Parkinson’s. This has been made possible through receiving funding from the Parkinson’s UK Physical Activity Grant.
The session is open to all Lewisham residents with Parkinson’s and their carers. The swimming session can be book in centre and will run every Thursday at 2pm for 12 weeks.
The main pool at Glass Mill Leisure Centre can be access via stairs or a platform lift, so this venue was chosen as users felt this met the needs of people with Parkinson’s and their carers.
