Splash and Play in the Pool

Llanishen Leisure Centre boasts a fantastic swimming pool that’s perfect for family fun. Whether your little ones are just starting to splash around or you’re looking for a fun family swim, the pool has it all. The highlight is the beach area – a shallow space designed specifically for younger children. It’s full of water toys like inflatable volleyballs and basketballs, making it the perfect spot for interactive play.

Swim For All

At Llanishen, we believe swimming should be an enjoyable and exciting experience for the whole family, offering something for everyone, no matter their age or swimming ability. Our 'Swim For All' sessions are available every day, designed to bring fun and laughter to families in a safe and welcoming environment. Whether you're a parent looking to introduce your little ones to the water or a teen wanting to enjoy a splash with friends, there's something for everyone!

On weekends and during school holidays, our wave machine adds a thrilling element to the swimming experience, making it extra special. In addition to our regular sessions, we offer toddler splash sessions, perfect for younger swimmers to explore the water in a playful, safe setting. For older kids, we have junior fun sessions complete with music, beach balls, and exciting inflatable volleyball and basketball toys, ensuring the fun never stops.

We want every visit to be memorable, so we've created an environment where the whole family can relax and have fun together. Whether you're looking for a calm swim or an action-packed adventure, Llanishen is the place to be!

Led by our experienced Fitness Instructors, these sessions are designed to help teens build strength, confidence, and a healthy routine. With dedicated sessions throughout the week and extra options during school holidays, there’s plenty of time to get involved and reach fitness goals.

Juniors will have access to a wide range of gym equipment, including bikes, treadmills, rowing machines, and cross trainers. Plus, our exciting new Junior Group Fitness programme offers fun and engaging classes like Group Cycle, TRX, Kettlebells, and Circuits, perfect for keeping things varied and challenging.

Whether your teen is a seasoned gym-goer or just getting started, our Junior Gym sessions are a fantastic way to stay active and have fun while improving fitness!
