The swimming group meets at the Excel centre, Mitchell Avenue, CV4 8DY (off Charter Avenue), on the first and second Mondays of each month (except if there is a clash with school or public holidays), between 3 pm and 4 pm. We have exclusive use of the pool, with lifeguard supervision. One half of the pool is set at a depth of just 1.25 metres for the entire length, making very safe swimming, and the other half is about 1.8 metres deep, for keen swimmers. There are no lessons or group sessions, so you can come along and swim as much or as little, as fast or as slow, as you like. The centre has facilities to assist with entry to and exit from the pool if required.

We also have shared use of the sauna, steam room, and jacuzzi.
