Active Centres

Looking for a rewarding and flexible role where you can genuinely make a difference?

We're looking for people interested in becoming Swimming Teachers and joining our Aquatics team. No previous teaching experience is required, and you don't need to be an advanced swimmer to begin your journey.

💙 Why become a Swim Teacher?
• Help children and adults build confidence and skills in the water
• Every day is different, with varied and meaningful work
• Teach a wide range of ages and abilities, including SEND swimmers
• Be part of a supportive and community-focused environment
• Flexible working patterns to suit different lifestyles
• Open to anyone aged 16+ with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn

Swimming teaching is a highly rewarding role, offering the chance to inspire others, support wellbeing, and pass on a life skill that lasts forever.

📅 Next Swim Teacher training course starts: 22nd June

Completing the training course provides you with the qualification needed to apply for Swim Teacher opportunities. Successful completion of the course does not guarantee employment, but it is the first step towards becoming a qualified Swimming Teacher.

Men’s Health Week (8th June - 15th June) 💙

This Men’s Health Week, we’re highlighting the simple ways staying active can support both physical and mental wellbeing.

Across Active Lifestyle Centres, there are plenty of ways to get moving - whether that’s hitting the gym, going for a swim, joining a group fitness class, or trying something new in a supportive environment. Regular activity can help improve strength, boost mood, reduce stress, and support long-term health and you don’t need to be “super fit” to start seeing the benefits.

If you’re looking for a more gentle introduction to exercise, our Wellbeing Studio in Bradley Stoke, Kingswood and Yate also offers a supportive, low-impact way to get active at your own pace.

Whether it’s a full workout or a small step forward, it all counts.

Find what works for you and make this the week you prioritise your health.

Thinking about introducing your child to swimming lessons? Now is the perfect opportunity to give it a try with our FREE swimming lesson trials at Longwell Green Active Lifestyle Centre.

Our lessons are designed to help babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers gain water confidence, learn important swimming skills and enjoy a fun and supportive experience in the pool.

We are currently offering FREE trials for:
👶 Adult & Baby lessons
🧒 Adult & Toddler lessons
🎈 Pre-school swimming lessons

Availability is open across the week, making it easy to find a session that works for you and your family.

We were thrilled to attend Technogym’s inspiring Let’s Move & Donate Food campaign presentation this week 💙

For every 2,000 MOVEs, Technogym donated one school meal to a child in need through the World Food Programme.

Thanks to the incredible support of our customers, together Active Lifestyle Centres helped donate 7,038 school meals 🙌

And the impact didn’t stop there — across 141 countries, the campaign helped deliver an amazing 1 million school meals worldwide!

THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️

Today is World Environment Day - a reminder that small, everyday choices can help protect the planet.

Across Active Lifestyle Centres, we continue to invest in more sustainable ways of working, including solar power, energy-efficient systems, water-saving technology, and smarter building controls to help reduce our environmental impact.

As we head into the summer months and many people look to refresh their swimwear, please remember you can donate your old or unwanted items at your local centre when you purchase new ones. Instead of going to landfill, they’ll be repurposed into new materials and given a second life.

💚 Simple swap, positive impact
♻️ Keep swimwear in use for longer
🌍 Help reduce waste this summer

June is Great Outdoors Month 🌿☀️

There’s no better time to get outside, get moving, and make the most of the lighter days. Whether it’s swimming, walking, cycling, outdoor exercise, or spending time with family and friends, being active outdoors is a great way to support both physical and mental wellbeing.

Getting outside doesn’t have to mean doing something big - even small moments outdoors can help boost your mood, energy, and overall health.

This month, why not:
🚶 Try a new walking route
🚴 Get out on your bike
🏊 Enjoy an outdoor swim
⚽ Spend more time being active as a family
🌳 Make the most of your local green spaces

However you choose to move, Great Outdoors Month is all about enjoying the benefits of being active outside.

💚 Fresh air, movement, and wellbeing go hand in hand.
