Swimming

Swimming’s a great way to have fun and get healthy, whatever your age or level of ability. Whether you’re honing your swimming technique, introducing your little in to the pool, or participating in one of our swimming lessons and courses, you’re in great hands. We also work closely with the Swimming Teachers Association to provide lessons for both adults and children, from three months and upwards.

What’s more, our comprehensive timetable for public swim and targeted sessions will keep you informed of all that’s available at Morden Leisure Centre.

Tom Daley Diving Academy

The Tom Daley Diving Academy is our Learn to Dive programme, in partnership with Olympic Medallist Diver Tom Daley. The programme is designed for all ages and abilities wanting to take up this exciting sport.

So whether you have aspirations to follow in Tom’s footsteps, want to learn something new, or just want a new way to keep fit, there has never been a better time to start learning to dive.
Across Better centres, courses are available in 2 formats:

  • A rolling programme that allows customers to join at any stage and progress at their own pace, attending one lesson a week. These lessons operate 50 weeks of the year with a short break over the Christmas period.
  • We also offer intensive courses during the holiday periods.

Our coaches are trained in talent identification, and at the Tom Daley Diving Academy we create fast rack pathways into competitive club programmes for those with the ambition and ability to make it to the top.
