Our updated swimming sessions

This summer we are making a range of changes to Active North Yorkshire. Find out more about the changes in our frequently asked questions.

This includes the names of our swimming sessions and where these are offered. Remember, if you have a membership you will have access to swimming sessions at any of our sites once they have completed the move to our new system.
