Swimming

Swimming is great at any age. Whether you want to improve your technique, get fit, meet new friends, compete or have fun, you're sure to have fun at Chingford Leisure Centre's pool.

As part of the Waltham Forest Council funded initiative we offer young residents (under 18) free swimming during school holidays (junior 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 (membership required).
