Better Swim Membership
Swimming is a great form of exercise, giving your body a full workout and improving your cardiovascular system.
Better is the largest swimming pool operator in the UK, meaning that when you have a swimming membership with us, you get access to over 140 swimming pools across England, Cardiff and Belfast, as well as 9 outdoor lidos. So it’s very likely that you can get a swimming membership near you.
At Better, we believe everyone should be comfortable in the water and get active. That’s why our Swim UK membership is designed for people of any ability level or age. So, whether you’re perfecting your front crawl, or just starting out, Better has you covered.
From reducing stress to helping you build muscle, there are many health benefits associated with swimming. Here are a couple more:
Teaches you a life skill – swimming is an important life skill and regularly attending lessons or casual swim sessions can help you develop this essential skill.
Boosts your mental health – attending your local pool frequently can help give you some headspace and boost your mental wellbeing as you socialise with the community.
Swim memberships are available at many Better leisure centres across the UK. However, please check the specific offering at local centre as this may vary.
