Swimming

Junior Health & Fitness sessions (12 to 15s)
There are a range of supervised ‘Junior Health & Fitness’ sessions for 12 to 15 year olds in Freedom Leisure Centres in Brighton & Hove. Withdean also runs unsupervised sessions for 14 and 15 year olds. After paying £10 for a gym induction, these sessions are free for Young Carers’ Card holders. During the induction, staff show you how to use the equipment and give you a chance to try it out. Card holders can use cardio-vascular equipment, but they can’t use weights for health and safety reasons.
King Alfred: 3.30-5.30pm weekdays, 11am-2pm Saturday.
Moulsecoomb: 3.30-5.30pm Monday to Thursday, 11am-2pm Saturday.

Prince Regent: 3.30-5.30pm weekdays, 11am to 2pm Saturday; school holidays 12 noon to 3pm every day.

Withdean: after £10 induction, supervised sessions for 12-15s using cardio-vascular equipment in the gym (4.15-5pm weekdays, booking recommended), supervised sessions for 12-13s (2-3pm) and unsupervised sessions in the gym for 14 and 15 year olds (12 noon-4.30pm term time at weekends and every day in school holidays).
Gyms (16 to 25s)
Young carers over the age of 16 can use the gyms at King Alfred, Moulsecoomb, Portslade, Prince Regent, Stanley Deason and Withdean for free, once they’ve paid £10 for a gym induction. Access is at any time during opening hours.
