Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth is now Open!

14 May 2009
The new Mountbatten Leisure Centre in Portsmouth is now open following a £25m investment.

Facilities at the new site include a 50m Olympic sized swimming pool and a state of the art new gym and health suite.

Richard Neale, Centre Manager commented “we are delighted with the new centre- it looks fantastic! It’s great that we are now able to provide first class sports and leisure facilities to the Portsmouth community and we hope that the new facilities will make health and fitness more accessible for everyone. The team here at the Mountbatten Centre have worked extremely hard and we look forward to welcoming all customers to the new facility”.

Amongst the new facilities is a new state of the art 150 station gym. Fully air conditioned, the gym is fitted with top of the range equipment supplied by Precor, and offers customers the opportunity to work out in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Our great value membership rates include full use of the gym facilities, group fitness classes and the swimming pool during public sessions. For further information please pop down to see the facilities for yourself, or contact us on 023 9262 6500.

The focal point of the new centre is undoubtedly the new 50m 8 lane swimming pool. The pool features a submersible boom and a moveable floor, which allows the pool to be split so that a range of activities can take place at once. The pool will offer a range of activities, from Aquazone swimming lessons to fun sessions, lane swimming and club sessions. Please click here to download our pool timetable for full details.

In a further boost, London 2012 have recognised the potential of the new centre and it will be included in the pre-games training camp guide for the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games.
