Swimming Passports
Our new Swimming Passport scheme has been launched to help people be more active and enjoy swimming.
A Swimming Passport enables Gedling residents under 16 years and aged 65 and over, to swim for free at dedicated sessions each week at our Arnold, Calverton and Carlton Forum leisure centres.
Swimming is a vitally important life skill to learn and has many benefits for your physical and mental health.

How to book

Not got a Gedling Leisure card? Sign up for one online, or find out more about our DNA memberships.
Booking for these sessions in advance is recommended and you can book online on our website or on the Gedling Leisure app.
Alternatively, you can visit or call your chosen leisure centre. Call Arnold on 0115 901 3690, Carlton Forum on 0115 987 2333 or Calverton on 0115 901 3800.
People not in these age groups can also join these sessions, however they will need to pay to swim, unless they are a DNA member, as this is included in membership.
