What We Offer
Did you know that to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, we should all be aiming to reduce time spent sitting or lying down? According to the NHS, Adults should aim to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity, per week. As you get older, you should also add in more activities that improve strength, balance, and flexibility. Children over 5 should aim for at least 60 minutes of moderate or vigorous intensity physical activity per day. For under 5’s this increases to 180 minutes per day. Everyone should aim to spread activity evenly throughout the day.
As a rule of thumb, moderate activity raises your heart rate and makes you breathe faster and feel warmer, but if you have not exercised for a while, then we recommend that you speak to your GP first. Above all make sure your activity and its intensity are appropriate for your fitness level. Take a look at the posters in our reception area for more information.
Wadebridge Sports & Leisure Centre offers a range of facilities to help you get fit, stay active and have fun.
Our 25-metre heated indoor swimming pool has 4 lanes and a separate 6.8m learner pool. We cater for all ages and abilities, for Lifeguards, serious swimmers, and casual users. The pools also host our Swim School Lessons, with one-to-one lessons available for adults available on request.
Swimming is low impact and a great way to exercise and de-stress. Whether you want to improve your technique, get fit, meet new friends, or just have some fun as a family, you're sure to find a pool session that you'll love.
Our Swim School is one of the best in North Cornwall, and our highly experienced and qualified Swimming Teachers provide the perfect environment for your child to develop their confidence and competence in the water. Our group lessons run on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. We follow the Swim England syllabus designed to reward and encourage children to progress safely. You can purchase certificates and badges at each stage of your child’s progress to motivate them on their swim journey.
We believe that it’s never too late to learn to swim so we also offer adult swimming lessons.
In addition to group lessons, we can also offer one-to-one lessons – perfect for swimmers of all ages - to help improve technique, stamina, or confidence. Please contact us to arrange this.
If you can't find the session that you want, please do email us on to join our waiting list.
