Swimming

Swimming is a fantastic activity for people of all ages. It offers a variety of benefits, including improving your technique, getting in shape, socializing with new friends, participating in competitions, and most importantly, having fun. Chingford Leisure Centre's pool provides the perfect environment to experience all these benefits.

As part of the Waltham Forest Council-funded initiative, we offer young residents (under 18) free swimming during school holidays (Junior Pay As You Go membership required). This offer is extended to residents of Waltham Forest 60+, Armed Forces staff and People with a Disability during off-peak times, 9am-4pm on weekdays and after 1pm on weekends (Pay As You Go membership required).
