Swim programme launched at new Coventry pool

People across Coventry are being invited to have a splash at learning to swim at a new city pool which will be completed this summer.

Swimmers can sign-up to a new programme which will be launched at the new 25-metre swimming pool which is being developed at Centre AT7 on Bell Green Road.

The scheme will be delivered by experienced teachers from the Aquarius Swim School, which also runs the swimming programme at the Coventry Sports Foundation-managed Xcel Leisure Centre in Canley.

Adults and children of all ages and abilities are able to join a variety of swim sessions including lessons available for both beginners and more experienced swimmers, ladies only lessons, galas, exercise classes, workshops and family swim sessions.

Centre AT7, which is managed by Coventry Sports Foundation and owned by Coventry and Warwickshire Award Trust, is currently undergoing a major redevelopment project to extend its facilities with the work due to be completed in August.

The £7.5 million building extension includes a new 25-metre swimming pool, a splash pool with water features and racing slides and a health suite featuring a Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room.

New function and meeting rooms are also being installed at the site while a new 216-space car-park has already been built.

Wendy Jackson, community development manager at Coventry Sports Foundation, said: “We are delighted to be able to invite people to sign-up to the new swimming programme which will be launched at the Centre AT7 when it is completed this summer.

“It is really important for us to continue to encourage people of all ages and abilities to be involved in swimming and there are plenty of sessions available ranging from lessons and exercise classes to casual swim sessions and children’s parties.

“The new programme will be of huge benefit to individuals and families living in the north-east of Coventry as they will have access to brand new state-of-the-art facilities including a new splash pool for youngsters to enjoy.

“During the first week of enrolment people will also be able to get their hands on £70 worth of exclusive discount vouchers both at the centre and online and those that sign-up to a Lifestyle membership package before July 31 will not have to pay the joining fee.”
