Stand up Paddleboarding is one of the UK's fastest growing water sports. It helps to improve balance, core stability and is a great fun way to keep fit! In this pool based Junior Paddleboarding session, children will learn the basics and take part in games and activities to test their balance and coordination. We are offering 3 sessions over the Easter Holidays, for children aged 8-15 years.
One of our customers had this to say about the February half-term session: 'I ju...st felt compelled to email and say how much my children LOVED the Junior Paddleboarding Class today at the Centre! The course was really fun and the instructor was brilliant with the children. They thoroughly enjoyed it and are already asking when they can do it again!'
Available to book now on 01308 427464.

Sports on offer include: racket ball, squash, badminton, table-tennis, short tennis, football, cricket, hockey, dodgeball and relay races. These all take place indoors in the main hall, and run every ...weekday of the holidays, bar Tuesdays and Good Friday. Here’s a testimonial from one of our customers: ‘My grandchildren (five and eight years old) came to several activities in half term for the second time. They found the instructors great fun and had an amazing time yet again. The multi sports day was a big hit and great value at £18 for a full day. We will certainly be booking again for the next school holidays.’ All our Easter holiday activities are available to book now.

Poor little Peter Rabbit has been hanging out at the centre for the past couple of weeks. We think he was left at a gymtots or rebound toddler session. Does anyone recognise him to get him reunited with his family?

We love coming here for Tae Kwon-do. Everyone is friendly and helpful and the centre is great!

Really happy to have won a family photo shoot from the leisure centre promotion.

Love the centre, fantastic fitness instructors and staff.

Love it!!!! XXXX

I use the leisure centre with my 13 month old for discovery ducklings mainly, and we absolutely love it.

The only critique I would make would be that there are not enough changing units for the babies in the changing rooms.

As the discovery ducklings sessions are for small babies and toddlers specifically, there is often a queue for the changing units, which results in some little ones getting very cold after their swim.

If more units could be put into the changing rooms, it would be brilliant !!!

I highly recommend this Centre! Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. A great range of facilities. Wide variety of memberships available to suit everyone! Always a thoroughly pleasant experience every time I visit.

I had a really stupid accident in the gym at BLC this morning. It was entirely my fault; I had a momentary lapse of concentration and came off the back of a treadmill.

The response of staff and other gym users was amazing. An obviously well rehearsed accident procedure was put in place by staff, who were there in seconds (including staff from downstairs).

I want to send a big THANK-YOU to everyone concerned, I felt very well looked after and although I felt really stupid, nobody made me feel that way. ❤️

Great swimming pool. Very friendly place will definitely return

Awesome place......awesome Taekwondo....awesome instructor!

Awesome centre, lovely staff!

A pleasure coming into the leisure centre to be greeted by cheerful, friendly reception staff who even greet you by name.

Giving blood in the Pavilion., 👍

Relaxing view whilst the pint of blood drains out ❤️

Generally a good place excellent instructors in the classes that I attend, down side is they do not keep the wet side changing areas up to date which is a real shame as this would be a benefit to the Leisure centre also this 8 DAY booking makes booking for longer loyal members very difficult this should be looked into to make it a fair booking system for ALL members JUST SAYING !!
