Our family take
Choose Leith Victoria for a swim together in a Victorian pool, with Family Fun sessions for toys and floats or casual swimming at other times. It suits a short indoor outing in Leith; plan around the session rather than expecting an all-day attraction.
- Book Family Fun. Family Fun Swimming must be booked in advance.
- Young swimmers. Adult-to-child ratios depend on ages and armbands. Check your group before booking.

Make it work for your family
Choose your swim session
Family Fun sessions last 55 minutes, with floats, sinkers and toys for children and grown-ups to use together. Adults can attend only when accompanying a child.
Family fun, lessons and club sessions have their own times, which differ from the venue’s general opening hours. Casual swimming is drop-in, without advance booking. Deep Water Only sessions require swimmers to manage 25 metres unaided, so choose a different session if your child needs shallower water or swimming support.
Junior and adult swim coaching are separate from a family swim. Junior gym access starts at S1; check the junior session and induction arrangements before adding it to your visit.
How many adults will you need?
For Family Fun, one adult can accompany one child under five with or without armbands, or two under-fives if both wear armbands. One adult can accompany two children aged five to eight, with or without armbands.
For a mixed-age pair, one adult can accompany an under-five and a five-to-eight-year-old when the under-five wears armbands. Check the swimming supervision rules before booking, particularly if your group does not fit these examples.
Access, buggies and food
Level access and lifts help with bringing a buggy. Accessible toilets, changing and shower facilities and a pool hoist are listed; contact the centre before booking if you need a particular changing or pool-entry arrangement.
The Upmo Eat café is open to the public, so you can plan a snack around your swim if it is serving. Ask the venue about bringing your own packed lunch if you need to eat there.
Getting here and planning the rest of the day
The entrance address is Junction Place, while the customer car park is on Bonnington Road. Buses and a nearby tram stop also serve the area; use a current journey planner for your route.
If your child needs a quiet session or a particular pool depth or temperature, speak to the centre before choosing a slot. Family Fun involves shared play with other families, and the timetable changes around lessons and other pool use.
