We are pleased to share a further update regarding Strode Swimming & Fitness following the recent disruption. Thanks to significant progress in recovery works, we will be able to resume a number of services from Monday 7 September 2026.
What's Reopening?
Studio and Upstairs Gym
Running water has now been re-established across the centre, allowing the studio and upstairs gym to reopen from Monday.
Small Pool
The small pool circulation system is now operational, and we are planning to reopen the small pool from Monday for:
- Learn to Swim lessons (Pre-School to Stage 2)
- Family swim sessions
Normal Opening Hours
The centre will return to its usual opening hours from Monday and will operate as normal for all available facilities.
Facilities Remaining Closed
Main Pool
Further repair works are still required to the main pool, which will remain closed for the time being. We will provide an update on reopening timelines as soon as more information becomes available.
Downstairs Gym
Unfortunately, the downstairs gym was significantly affected by flooding and will remain closed while essential repairs are carried out. We appreciate your patience and will keep members informed as updates become available.
Swim School Information
Pre-School to Stage 2 (Small Pool Lessons)
As lessons resume from Monday, any Swim School members who missed lessons during September can apply for a refund at reception. Direct debit payments will recommence on 1 October.
Stage 3 to Swim Squad (Main Pool Lessons)
As the main pool remains closed, affected Swim School members will be eligible for a refund or price adjustment for any missed sessions. Further details will be communicated as the situation develops.

All fitness members continue to have access to the following facilities as part of their membership:
- Tor Leisure Centre
- Wells Leisure Centre

We would like to thank all customers for their continued patience, understanding and support while recovery works have been taking place. We are delighted to be welcoming many of you back from Monday and will continue to provide updates as further progress is made.
