It’s one of the many perks of winter that you can book cosy accommodation in Bath and grab a few days away while the crowds of summer are busy elsewhere, and there are plenty of things to do in the city for those umbrella days.

Bath Sports and Leisure Centre is located right in the city centre and its home to a leisure pool and plenty to keep the children happy until the sun comes back out. You’ll not only find casual swimming sessions for families in the 25m pool, but the centre also has soft play areas and a whole programme of activities aimed at children.

The pool inflatable sessions are always popular with the leisure centre’s younger visitors, and the dual run aqua lane inflatable enables them to leap, splash and run amok under supervision. The sessions are perfect for children of 8 – 15 years who can swim 25m safely. Other activities available include dance lessons for children and even cycling tuition for those who are just about ready to lose the stabilisers. If you’re visiting Bath with friends remember that the leisure centre has squash, basketball, badminton and football areas that can be booked by groups too.
