Swimming lessons. The centre page lists swimming lessons as available at this centre, alongside climbing and gymnastics. It lists badminton and trampolining as unavailable here and points to centres in Wokingham and Arborfield Green.

Booking. The centre page carries a timetable you can filter by activity (swimming, classes, kids, sports, gym, climbing) and says memberships include access to the Places Leisure app for making and managing bookings. Membership prices and joining offers change often, so use the centre page.

Access. The page lists accessible parking, a lift, accessible turnstiles, a Changing Places facility, a pool hoist, an accessible pool platform, an accessible shower and wheelchair accessible equipment, and says assistance dogs are welcome. For general parking, see our Camberley parking guide.

Lightwater Leisure Centre

The council describes it as a Lifestyle Fitness centre in Lightwater Country Park. Lifestyle Fitness's Lightwater page says it is in partnership with the Lightwater Playing Fields Association and lists:

• a gym with free weights, an InBody scanner and a sauna

• a floodlit 3G pitch and grass pitches
• a multi-sport indoor hall for hire (basketball, netball, volleyball, indoor football), badminton, pickleball and table tennis courts, and studio hire
• an on-site cafe

The page does not list a swimming pool. At the time we read it, the page said a new sports booking system was coming and to contact the club to make a new booking.

Tomlinscote Sports Centre

The council describes this as a dual-use centre at Tomlinscote School in Frimley, open to the public in the evenings, at weekends and in school holidays. The centre's own site publishes opening times of Monday to Friday 5:30pm to 10pm and Saturday and Sunday 9am to 6pm, and the phone number 01276 670316. Its facilities page lists an indoor badminton court, table tennis, basketball, football, volleyball, netball, astro tennis (season depending) and 11, 9, 7 and 5-a-side 3G pitches, with all bookings made through SchoolHire. It also has a gym and class timetable and birthday parties. The site did not list a swimming pool.

So where do I swim?

Of the three centres the council lists, only Places Leisure Camberley is described with pools. If you live in Bagshot, Lightwater or Mytchett, check travel and parking for Grand Avenue before you go.
