Swimming & Leisure Centres
We get it, you’re on holiday, so the last thing you want to see is a gym, but hear us out. The Peak District and Derbyshire has plenty of leisure centres and swimming pools to keep you active whilst on holiday. Most have gym and fitness facilities for those who really can’t keep off the treadmill, even when they’re on holiday, and some even have climbing walls. Leisure centres often run organised activities for children and classes for adults, and you don’t always have to be a member to join in.
Let’s face it, this is England, it’s probably going to rain at some point so have an indoor, wet weather day activity up your sleeve, and what better way to let the kid’s burn off some energy than swimming. Many pools host pool parties and splash hours when all the inflatables are thrown in the pool and the kids can have a ball. For a more sedate swim, lane swimming, quiet swimming, disabled swimming and all sorts of tailored swimming experiences are catered for. Times will vary so check the very latest timetable of each leisure centre below.
