FANS - Free Access to facilities for National Sports people in Oxford

Visit our FANS page for full details on our London 2012 Inspire Mark recognised programme for giving free access to our leisure centres for national sports people.

Telephone Number

The telephone number for all our leisure centres is 0844 8933 222. Calls cost approximately 3p a minute, plus an 8p connection charge, from a BT landline, or much more from a mobile. If you have inclusive calls, or mobile inclusive minutes, to 01 02 and 03 numbers, it is cheaper to use the individual centre's 01865 number, which you can find on our web pages for each individual leisure centre.

Leisure Centre and Swimming Pool Management

We work with Fusion Lifestyle (a not-for-profit leisure trust)  to improve and develop our leisure centres and swimming pools.

We have signed a 10-year management contract with Fusion which will deliver improvements to the centres and reduce the overall cost of the service resulting in better value for money for the people of Oxford.
