Eltham Leisure Centre is the perfect spot for a fun filled water play day with the kids. With a shallow leisure pool ideal for little ones, a dedicated learn to swim toddler pool and an outdoor water play area, it truly ticks all the boxes for water loving families.

This Mamma’s 3-year-old needs a fair bit of convincing to leave, he’s completely in his element here, but a stop at the café on the way out usually does the trick. Their banana bread is a firm favourite!

Beyond the pools, Eltham Leisure Centre also offers a 24/7 gym, fitness classes, sports stadium, childcare centre and café, making it a great all round community hub.

A special mention must go to their Little Wonders Explorers program, a FREE water familiarisation and safety class for babies and toddlers. It’s a lovely opportunity to meet other mums while bubs enjoy splashing and building confidence in the water. Bookings are essential, so be sure to check the website for session details.
