Changes to Active North Yorkshire coming soon

This summer, we are introducing a number of changes across Active North Yorkshire to create a simpler, clearer and more consistent experience across all sites. These include simplifying our membership options, moving to a new, single booking system and updating the names of our swim sessions and group exercise classes so they are easier to understand when booking.

Read answers to frequently asked questions about what these changes mean for you, including timelines, new options and how your current membership may be affected.

Get your students learning to swim
We offer a fun and safe environment where students can confidently achieve the goal of swimming at least 25 metres unaided in a variety of styles, water safety and more.

Swimming lessons for schools at Richmond Leisure and Wellbeing Hub

Our facilities and services offer schools in the Richmond area a wide variety of activities and opportunities to support the curriculum and encourage the development of students.

School swim programme

Our school swim programme supports schools to meet the curriculum targets of:

  • swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
  • use a range of strokes effectively, for example front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke
  • perform safe self-rescue in different water-based situations

Our inclusive programme is underpinned by our dedicated swimming instructors who nurture a child’s personal development whilst providing a fun and safe experience. Learning to swim is not just about making a splash and badges, it offers an opportunity to shape and develop vital life skills you take into adulthood.

Contact us for details on our school swim programme.
