Swimming is a great way to stay physically active, whatever your age or ability. Whether you’re lane swimming to maintain and develop your fitness, splashing around with the family or learning to swim so that you can join in the fun, we have something for you!
Enjoy a range of swimming and pool activities for you and your whole family where you can have fun and be active together.

Swimming lessons
Our team follows the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework to deliver swimming lessons. We use fun and games to build water confidence from the first splash to a lifetime of loving swimming and being safe in the water.

Pool info
We have one pool to enjoy at Ongar Leisure Centre - with our pool measuring 25m in length, and capable of being split into four lanes.
Please note that due to staff lifeguard training, 2 lanes will be unavailable to the public on the second Tuesday of each month from 6.00pm - 8.00pm, and the last Sunday of each month from 8.00am - 10.00am
Inflatable Fun
Try our giant pool inflatable in our main pool, with 'wipe-out style' courses with obstacles and slides which adults and kids can scale and climb through. Can you get to the other side without falling overboard? Alongside this have rafts and floats.
Aqua classes
We operate a number of Aquafit classes throughout the week. Take a look at our timetable to book your space.
