Did you know?
Archaeological evidence shows that swimming was practiced as early as 2500BC in Egypt, but it wasn’t until the 19th Century that it became popular as both a recreational and sport activity.
The great news is that access to our public swimming sessions is included in your Aspirations fitness membership package – but if you’re just looking for swim only membership, we do that too.
