People aged over 65 can swim for free at all three of our leisure centres at certain times each week. These free sessions are funded by Merton Council, as part of our commitment to becoming London’s Borough of Sport.
How to book
You need to book in advance. You can:
- follow the links below
- use the Better UK app
- book at the leisure centre if you need help
When booking online, you need to log in to the Better website or app before you book. You'll see the free booking option for the times listed below if you're aged over 65 and provided your correct date of birth when you created your account.
Create an account
Create an account on the Better website if you don't already have one. You only need to do this once.
The website will ask you to enter your date of birth. Better will use this to check if you're over 65.
You can also create an account in the leisure centre using the tablets in the reception area. A member of staff can help you if necessary.
