Swim membership
Why choose a Swim membership?
Swimming is the ultimate way to support your mental and physical wellbeing. It's a low-impact, full-body workout that improves your cardiovascular system whilst reducing stress and boosting your mood.
Better is the largest swimming pool operator in the UK, meaning that when you have a swimming membership with us, you get access to over 140 swimming pools across England, Cardiff and Belfast, as well as 10 outdoor lidos and five open water swimming spots.
At Better, we believe everyone should be comfortable in the water and get active. That’s why our Swim membership is for people of any ability level or age. So, whether you’re perfecting your front crawl, or just starting out, Better has you covered.
From reducing stress to helping you build muscle, there are many health benefits associated with swimming. Here are a couple more:
Teaches you a life skill
Swimming is an important life skill and regularly attending lessons or casual swim sessions can help you develop this essential skill.
Boosts your mental health
Attending your local pool frequently can help give you some headspace and boost your mental wellbeing as you socialise with the community.
Benefits of a Swim membership
Along with your swim-only membership, there are a lot of additional benefits that you can enjoy. You’ll get access to:

- Five open water venues: Lee Valley White Water Centre, West Reservoir Centre, Herts Young Mariners Base, Debdale Outdoor Centre and Stanborough Park Water Sports Centre

On top of this, when you visit our swimming pools, you will be able to enjoy all of the facilities on offer (from diving boards, wave machines and inflatable obstacle courses) at a discounted price. These facilities are only available at some of the pools, so do check your local centre beforehand.
Many centres are also equipped with accessible features e.g. accessible changing rooms and Poolpods for easy access in and out of the pool.
