Felixstowe Leisure Centre sits right on the town's seafront and is run by Places Leisure for East Suffolk Council. It is a family-friendly hub with a 25m main pool, a teaching pool and a baby pool, plus Funtasia soft play for little ones. Children can learn to swim with Swim England-accredited lessons from baby and toddler age upwards, join inflatable fun sessions (age 5+), or burn off energy in the soft play area. School holiday activities keep children active during the breaks, and birthday parties can be booked in the soft play area or in the pool. There is also a gym, fitness studios, sports hall, five-rink indoor bowls hall and a health suite for the grown-ups, along with a pay and display car park.
