Accessible Swimming in Preston

Our accessible swimming sessions at West View Leisure Centre in Preston provide a welcoming and supportive environment for people with sight loss to enjoy the many benefits of swimming.

Designed with accessibility in mind, these sessions create a relaxed and inclusive space where visually impaired people can feel comfortable, confident and supported in the water.

If you are looking to improve your fitness, build confidence in the pool, or take part in a social and inclusive activity, you will receive a warm welcome.
