During Reading school holidays and Bank Holidays our swimming pool timetables will change. Timetables are available to download on the bottom of our swimming page leading up to each holiday, and also to pick up in our Centres.

Christchurch Meadows Paddling Pool

The paddling pool at Christchurch Meadows will not reopen this season. Public safety has to remain our overriding priority with the virus still in circulation and the need to enforce safe social distancing would be extremely difficult in such a popular facility.
 

We are investing to improve Reading’s leisure facilities.

Working in partnership with Greenwich Leisure Ltd (GLL), we are investing in Reading's Leisure Service to deliver:

Open by Summer 2022:
A new flag-ship leisure centre with 25m 8-lane pool
A new 25m 6-lane community pool at Palmer Park
Improvements at South Reading Leisure Centre and Meadway Sports Centre

Starting from Spring 2020 a high quality new service offer:
Free 'Reading Resident's Card' - with access to all Reading leisure centres
Up to 30% discounts for residents and up to 50% discount for concessions

Please continue to use your existing membership, activity or course as usual for now. We’ll keep you updated on any changes that will affect you and talk you through anything you need to know or do.
