Dorcan Better Health & Recreation Complex
Dorcan Better Health & Recreation Complex on St Pauls Drive is Swindon's go-to spot for fitness, swimming and sports. The gym has cardio machines and weights for every workout, while the 20-metre pool offers lane swimming and lessons in warm, comfortable water. Our netball dome with two courts makes us a local favourite for netball sessions and competitions, and there's also a sports hall for badminton, basketball and pickleball. Classes include group cycle, yoga, Pilates, circuits and aqua aerobics, which locals love. The astroturf pitch is perfect for football, and we have outdoor netball courts too.
