Led by Olympian Rebecca Adlington MBE, Swim! has been opening state-of-the-art centres around the UK for the last few years. The nearest to Leeds are in Bradford, Batley and Castleford.

The city could soon have its own centre if the council approves an application for change of use at a retail unit on the City South Retail Park in Hunslet, formerly home to a Magnet store.
