Swim membership
Why choose a Swim membership?
Swimming is one of the best all-round ways to look after your body and your mind. It's a low-impact, full-body workout that improves your cardiovascular system whilst reducing stress and boosting your mood.
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 10 outdoor lidos and five open water swimming spots.
At Better, we believe everyone should be comfortable in the water and get active. That’s why our Swim membership is for people of any ability level or age. So, whether you’re perfecting your front crawl, or just starting out, Better has you covered.
Swimming does more than keep you fit:
Teaches you a life skill
Swimming is a skill for life. Lessons or regular casual sessions will build your confidence in the water.
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.
Benefits of a Swim membership

- Five open water venues: Lee Valley White Water Centre, West Reservoir Centre, Herts Young Mariners Base, Debdale Outdoor Centre and Stanborough Park Water Sports Centre
- Adult swimming lessons at a discounted rate

Many centres are also equipped with accessible features, e.g. accessible changing rooms and Poolpods for easy access in and out of the pool.
