Free swimming sessions for young people

Oxford City Council offers free swimming sessions for all children and young people aged 16 and under who live in Oxford. These sessions are available at various times throughout the week. Check your local pool’s timetable for specific times:

  • Barton Leisure Centre
  • Ferry Leisure Centre
  • Leys Pools and Leisure Centre

How to access free swimming

To participate in these free sessions, you need a free swim card. Obtain your card by speaking to the reception staff at Barton, Ferry, or Leys leisure centres. Please bring proof of your age and address.

Once you have your card, you can use it for family or general swim sessions at any of the listed pools. Please note, lane swimming is not included in this offer.

To book sessions online, you’ll need your email address or the email address of a parent or guardian.
