We are proud to say that even in the heart of central London our Club boasts a fabulous 25m heated indoor swimming pool. With lanes set aside for your particular ability it's perfect for a hassle-free and effective workout.
You can also enjoy relaxing in our poolside sauna and steam room.
We offer a full range of water-based activities such as water aerobics and learn to swim classes that stretch from beginners to those wishing to perfect their technique. Canoeing and scuba diving are examples of more unusual pool pursuits here at Central YMCA Club.
