You don’t need to book in advance – just check the centre’s timetable for the latest session times and drop in when it suits you. The leisure centre also has a café for a post-swim snack or drink, and changing facilities are available on-site.

Junior Gym

Looking for a fun and healthy activity for your older kids or teens? The Junior Gym sessions at Thamesmere Leisure Centre are perfect for young people aged 11–17 who want to get moving and build confidence in a friendly, supervised environment.

These dedicated sessions allow young people to use the gym with guidance from a qualified fitness instructor, ensuring they learn how to use the equipment safely while getting a great workout.

Available every day of the week:

Weekdays: 4:00pm – 6:00pm
