Olympiad Leisure Centre
The Olympiad Leisure Centre is a leisure centre in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England.
History
[edit]The centre opened in 1989 and is owned by Wiltshire Council.[1][2][3]
In late 2019, the swimming pool was closed to allow the water slides to be removed.[4]
In January 2023, the sauna was closed along with saunas in six other centres in Wiltshire as a cost-saving measure due to rising energy prices.[5]
In July 2024, the gym was refurbished and its equipment renewed.[6]
Facilities
[edit]The Olympiad Leisure Centre has a four-lane 25-metre swimming pool, sports hall, squash courts, and fitness suite.[7]
