The Greenwich Centre

Looking for a fun and active day out with the kids? The Greenwich Centre in East Greenwich is the perfect destination for families wanting to splash, play, learn, and explore—all in one welcoming space. Whether you're planning your toddler’s first swim, hoping to get your teens moving, or simply looking for a relaxed and engaging environment to enjoy with the whole family, the Greenwich Centre has something exciting for everyone.

Start your visit with a refreshing dip in one of the Centre’s two fantastic pools. The main pool is a 25-metre, six-lane swimming pool that’s ideal for family swims, lap practice, and lessons. It’s perfect for older kids and adults looking to work on their swimming skills or just enjoy some fun in the water.

For younger children and beginners, the learner pool offers a warmer, shallower environment that’s safe and supportive—ideal for splashing about, building water confidence, or participating in Parent and Baby swim sessions. It’s a fantastic way to enjoy quality time together without breaking the bank. Special swim sessions like Swim for All and Parent and Baby swims are designed to ensure everyone—regardless of age or ability—can join in the fun.

Once you’ve dried off, there’s more to explore. For older children and teens who enjoy staying active, the Centre’s modern gym is a great place to get moving. With over 130 workout stations, including treadmills, cross-trainers, bikes, and strength training equipment, there’s something for every interest and fitness level.

Whether your teen is new to fitness or already building a routine, knowledgeable and friendly instructors are always available to offer advice and help them train safely. Beyond physical activity, the Greenwich Centre is also a hub for learning and creativity. The on-site library is a spacious and inviting area filled with books for all ages, computers, and interactive learning tools.

The children’s area is bright and colourful, offering a cosy and inspiring space for little ones to read, explore, and participate in regular storytelling sessions or educational activities. It’s a perfect spot to wind down after physical play and foster a love of reading. Thinking of celebrating a birthday or special occasion?

Choose from exciting pool parties or lively soft play sessions, with packages designed to suit different age groups and group sizes. These events are a great way to make lasting memories and give your child a day they’ll never forget.
