Are you ready to feel stronger, faster, and more full of energy than ever before? Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you're already smashing it in PE class, the Junior Gym sessions at Maindy Leisure Centre are designed just for you!

Our sessions are all about building confidence, strength, and healthy habits in a fun, supportive, and safe environment.

Cycling Track

Did you know the cycling track at Better Maindy Centre has been around since 1958? It was originally built for the British Empire and Commonwealth Games — pretty cool, right?

This awesome 460-metre outdoor track is a favourite spot for local cycling clubs, including the Maindy Flyers Junior Cycling Club — the same club where Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas first started riding!

Now it’s your turn! Whether your child is just learning to ride or already racing around, our cycle track is the perfect place to build confidence and have fun on two wheels. We run exciting sessions for kids like Balance Bikes and Junior Triathlon — perfect for little riders with big energy!

The track is also open to the public on a pay-as-you-go basis (subject to availability), so you can enjoy a spin together.

Just don’t forget to bring your own bike and safety gear — helmets on, and let’s go!

Swim For All

Ready to make a splash? At Better Maindy Centre, everyone can join in on the fun at our Swim for All sessions! Whether you're just starting to swim or you're already a fish in the water, we've got something for you!

Jump in and enjoy our awesome pool with your friends or family. It’s the perfect place to have fun, get active, and cool off — all while learning new swimming skills!

Our Swim for All sessions are super chill, and it’s all about having a great time in the water. So, grab your goggles, put on your best swimming smile, and let’s dive in!

Don’t forget your towel, and let’s make this swim a splash-tacular one!
