Swimming

Southwark residents can use swimming and gym facilities for free in all of our leisure centres. 

Our swim and gym scheme gives you free access at the following times:

• all day Fridays (check with your local leisure centre for any exceptions)
• Saturday and Sunday, from 2pm
• Silver Sessions throughout the week for adults over 60 
• 7 days a week at all Southwark leisure centres for eligible disabled residents

To register, you’ll need proof of your:

• ID
• home address 

Find out more about how to register and when you can swim for free.

If you cannot access a computer to register online, you can use a computer at your local library. Someone there can help you to register. You can collect your membership card from the leisure centre.

If you want to use the gym, call or visit your local leisure centre to book an induction appointment.

If you’re a resident, your GP or other medical experts can refer you for other free exercise programmes. Find out more.
