Junior Gym

Junior gym sessions at the Heights and Medina leisure centres are proving a big hit with Island youngsters.

The sessions are held through the week and are specially designed for ten to 15 year olds. With a mix of cardiovascular and resistance exercise, sessions are fully supervised to ensure that young people learn about the safe and correct usee of the equipment - and get the most out of their use.

Junior gym sessions at the Heights have exclusive use of the new Health Zone and at Medina, there's also exclusive use of the Tone Zone during Saturday morning sessions.

Cllick here to find the best times for you.

Free swimming for kids

All children on the Island up to the age of 15 can swim for free* during all school holidays in 2007.

The offer is available at the three pools operated by the Isle of Wight Council – Medina Leisure Centre in Newport, The Heights in Sandown and Waterside on Ryde Esplanade.

Free swimming is available to any child with a Junior One Card – forms are available from all our pools – a signature from a parent or guardian is required.

There’s no limit to the number of times you swim during the school holidays but, as with all our activities, participation is subject to availability. Free swimming is subject to set session times.

If you haven’t already got a Junior registration One Card, pick up a form today and start swimming!
