Stanground Sports Centre is a community sports and leisure centre based at Stanground Academy in Peterborough. Its Olympic-size heated swimming pool hosts public swims and lane swims most weeks (Monday evening public swim, Thursday afternoon lane swim, plus Saturday and Sunday morning and afternoon sessions, with extra sessions added during school holidays). Children's swimming lessons run Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings plus weekend mornings, and Thursday inflatable pool sessions are a firm favourite with older kids. Under-5s swim free with a paying adult; adult swims cost GBP 6 and ages 5-17 cost GBP 4.50. The centre also hires out sports halls, an activity studio, classrooms and outdoor fields, with ample onsite parking. Centre opening hours are Monday-Friday 5pm-10pm and Saturday-Sunday 9am-5pm, though availability varies during school holidays and term time.
Extra swim sessions added during school holidays; summer timetable late Jul-Aug (2026). Thursday inflatable pool sessions (ages 8+).
