Kids’ activities during six weeks’ holidays at Sport Lancaster

Sport Lancaster is offering a range of activities and memberships for children and families over the summer, including access to swimming, racket sports, family pool sessions, and private swimming lessons.
Children’s Membership
From Saturday 19 July, children and young people (aged 15 and under) are eligible to purchase a Children’s Membership at Sport Lancaster, granting access to swimming sessions as well as racket sports, including badminton, table tennis, squash, tennis, and the newly launched pickleball.
The Children’s Membership costs ?10.50 for one week or ?31.50 for the full six-week period.
Standard supervision rules apply, with children aged 10 and under required to have an accompanying adult on site.
Weekly memberships can be purchased up to 30 August, while six-week memberships are valid until 6 September, regardless of purchase date.
All memberships are subject to Sport Lancaster’s standard admissions policy.
Fun With Floats
Fun With Floats for families will run on a more regular basis during the six-week school holidays (between 21 July and 28 August). These sessions are 60-minutes in duration and feature floats, balls, noodles, and toys for all to enjoy in the 25m swimming pool.
Each session costs ?6.50 per person (e.g. ?13 for one child and one adult), and children under 4 years old go free.
- Every Wednesday, 10.30am - 11.30am
- Every Thursday, 1.30pm - 2.30pm
- Every Sunday, 11.30am - 12.30pm
Please note, normal admission pool rules apply:
- Children over 10 years old are allowed in the pool on their own.
- Children 8-9 years old need an adult on poolside spectating, or in the water.
- Children between 4-7 years old require one adult supervising up to two children in the water.
- Children under 4 is a ratio of one-one in the water.
Booking in advance (from a week before your chosen session) is advised by calling reception 01524 510600, or, using the Sport Lancaster?online booking system.
121 Swimming Lessons
Private lessons provide personalised instruction for all ages and abilities, from complete beginners to children who need to build confidence and improve technique during a focused session tailored to your child’s needs.
Book a one-off session or a full block of six.
- Every Wednesday, 8am – 9am
- Every Thursday, between 7am - 12pm
- Every Friday, 8.30am - 9.30am
Optional Water Safety Sessions
With summer being a time for beach days, outdoor swimming, and water-based fun, you can request a dedicated water safety-focused session as part of your 1:1 booking. These sessions are ideal for parents who want to give their child extra skills and awareness around safe swimming, floating, and understanding risks.
Each 121 session costs ?20, or ?30 for a 221 session (including the same level of instruction tailored to two swimmers). Book in advance by calling reception 01524 510600, or email Steve Boardman via swimmingenquiries@lancaster.ac.uk
