About Silksworth Community Pool, Tennis & Wellness Centre
Silksworth Community Pool, Tennis & Wellness Centre is on Silksworth Lane on the south-west side of the city, next to the Silksworth Sports Complex. It is run by Everyone Active and combines a four-lane 25m community pool with one of the larger tennis facilities in the region: 18 courts, eight of them indoors, plus padel courts.
The pool is used for public swimming and a children's swimming lesson programme, and the centre also runs tennis coaching for juniors and adults. There is a cafe on site and the centre hosts children's parties. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 6.30am to 9pm and at weekends 8am to 4pm. Session timetables, court bookings and lesson places are all handled through the Everyone Active website and app, and the timetable changes in school holidays, so check before setting off.
