Local charity, Lonsdale Swimming and Sport Trust, has been dedicated to ‘Keep Derby Swimming’ since 2006 and operate the long-established and much-loved Lonsdale pool in Mickleover and Gayton pool in Littleover.
Both community swimming pools offer a wide range of value for money sessions for hundreds of children, adults, and families a week.
Staffed by qualified and highly experienced teachers and lifeguards, Lonsdale and Gayton and offer value for money swimming activities including children’s and adult swimming lessons, fun family sessions, adult only swimming sessions on a ‘pay as you go’ basis and facilities for local clubs and schools.
Swimming lessons from basic water confidence for babies and beginners through to the level where you could join a competitive club. We also offer Rookie Lifeguard sessions for young people looking to their future careers.
Both pools have adult-only swimming sessions with Gayton offering additional ladies-only and over-50’s sessions, adult lessons, as well as Aqua Fit which is recommended low-impact exercise for people of all ages and particularly pregnant women.
Family Fun
Our family fun sessions at Lonsdale are available on a pay as you go basis and a great and cost-effective way to bring the family together to enjoy swimming together in a safe and nurtured environment.
