How to make the most out of swimming at The Edge

Whether you enjoy swimming lengths, taking part in water-based fitness classes or simply relaxing after a workout, our pool offers plenty of ways to make the most of your membership.

With a 25-metre pool, sauna and steam room, a variety of classes, dedicated women’s only sessions and swimming lessons, there’s something for everyone here at The Edge, no matter your interests, abilities and fitness goals.

Take a dip in our 25-metre pool

Our 25-metre swimming pool is a great place to enjoy a workout, practice your swimming technique or add some extra movement into your week. Swimming is a fantastic way to work your whole body while improving cardiovascular fitness, strength and stamina. As a low-impact activity, it can also be a useful alternative to higher-impact forms of exercise.

Whether you prefer a gentle swim to unwind or a more energetic session to challenge yourself, you can work at your own pace and make the pool part of your regular fitness routine.

Relax in the sauna and steam room

Your pool visit doesn’t have to end when you leave the water. Our sauna and steam room offer the opportunity to slow down and enjoy some relaxation as part of your gym experience.

The sauna provides a dry heat, while the steam room offers a warm, humid environment. Both can be enjoyable places to unwind after a busy day or round off your gym visit.

Find your feet with our pool timetable

Planning your pool visit is easy once you know the timetable . The Edge hosts different activities throughout the day, so it’s worth checking the schedule before setting off.

Depending on the session, the pool may be available for general swim, lane swim only, organised classes, swimming lessons or dedicated women’s-only swimming.

Before your visit, look at the latest pool timetable to find a session that suits your schedule and what you’d like to do. Pay attention to session times, any restrictions and whether you need to book onto classes in advance.

Discover our women’s-only swimming sessions

Looking for a dedicated time to enjoy the pool? Our women’s-only swimming sessions provide an opportunity for women to swim during designated times.

Whether you’re building your confidence in the water, practising your technique or simply looking for a swim that suits your preferences, these sessions offer another way to enjoy the pool facilities.

Our women’s-only sessions run on Tuesdays and Fridays, and we recommend arriving a little early to guarantee full use of the timeslot.

We want members to feel comfortable finding the swimming sessions that work best for them, whatever their experience or ability in the water.

Try out our pool classes

If you’re looking to add variety to your fitness routine, our Swim Fit and Aqua pool classes are a great option to explore.

Water-based exercise can combines movement, resistance and cardiovascular activity in a different way from a traditional gym workout. The water supports your body while providing resistance as you move, making pool-based exercise an enjoyable way to stay active.

Whether you’re a regular class-goer or interested in trying something new, take a look at the class timetable to see which sessions are available.

Build your confidence with swimming lessons

It’s never too late to improve your swimming skills. Whether you’re learning the basics, working on your technique or looking to become a more confident swimmer, swimming lessons can help you take the next step.

Lessons offer a structured way to develop your skills and work towards your personal goals with guidance from an instructor.

If you’ve been meaning to learn to swim or want to improve an existing skill, explore the swimming lessons available and find out which option is right for you.

Make the most of your next pool visit

From swimming lengths in our 25-metre pool to enjoying a class, attending a lesson or unwinding in the sauna and steam room, there are plenty of ways to make the pool part of your routine.
