There's tuition if you're looking to take up the sport or brush up on your skills, as well as a junior academy for children.

 

 

The whole family can become members at Gosforth Leisure Centre and enjoy a whole range of activities to get active. There's two swimming pools open for general swimning with classes for children and specialist sessions, a sauna, fitness gym and studio space. if fitness classes are more your thing there's plenty to choose from, or personal training is an option too. Plus little ones can keep busy during school holidays as an activity programme runs, so you can have a workout or dip in the pool while they have their own fun.
