Swimming and Aqua Classes Horizon | The Perfect Way to Stay Active This Winter

When the weather turns cold, it is tempting to slow down and stay indoors. But winter is actually one of the best times to make the most of the pool. Swimming and Aqua Classes Horizon offer a warm, welcoming way to stay active, boost your mood, and look after your body during the colder months.

At Horizon, our pools at Havant, Waterlooville, and Guildford are the perfect place to keep moving all winter long. Whether you prefer a calm swim, a fun family session, or pick one of our aquatic disciplines with friends, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Stay Warm While You Move

You might not expect it, but swimming is one of the most comfortable ways to stay active in winter. Our pools are kept at a consistent, warm temperature so you can enjoy your workout without feeling the chill. Our swimming and aqua classes are designed for all fitness levels.

Unlike outdoor exercise, swimming keeps your muscles warm and your joints supported. The water provides gentle resistance that helps build strength and stamina without strain. For anyone managing joint pain, recovering from injury, or simply wanting a low-impact way to stay fit, the pool is the ideal place to move.

The sound of the water, the rhythm of movement, and the calm atmosphere make it as good for the mind as it is for the body. Every visit offers that same sense of calm, connection, and community.

Aquatic Discplines and classes

If you find it hard to stay motivated when the days are shorter, Swimming and Aquatic disciplines have the answer. Our sessions are a fantastic way to keep active and social whether you pick a mermaid, diving or artistic swimming session.

We also have our incredible swim school, where we’re proud to be affiliated with Swim England. Learn essential water skills, boost stamina, and refine swimming abilities while benefiting from small class sizes and personalised attention. You can find out more here.

Aqua classes with our community and wellbeing team are perfect for all fitness levels, including those returning to exercise or looking for a lower-impact option. The buoyancy of the water supports your body, making it easier on the joints while still delivering great results. Our instructors bring plenty of energy, encouragement, and fun to every class.

Benefits Beyond the Pool

Classes support heart health, build strength, and boost energy, but they also improve mental wellbeing. Regular time in the water from swimming and aqua classes can help:

• Reduce stress and anxiety.
• Improve sleep and relaxation.
• Build confidence and self-esteem.
• Create moments of calm and focus.

It is exercise that feels as refreshing for the mind as it does for the body. Enjoy our range of swimming and aqua Classes this winter.

Swimming for Everyone

At Horizon, swimming is for all ages and abilities. From adult lane swims and gentle sessions to family fun swims and lessons for children, our pools bring people together in ways that go far beyond fitness. Family float is one of our most popular sessions during the half terms if you want to get the whole family together.

We provide options for members and pay-as-you-go visitors alike. Whether you are looking to train, unwind, or simply enjoy the water, there is a session that fits your schedule. You can have a look at our membership options here.

Make This Winter Your Time to Move

Winter might bring cold mornings and dark evenings, but it also brings the chance to look after yourself in new ways. Swimming is more than just exercise. It’s a way to stay active, meet others, and feel good through the season.

So this winter, take the plunge. Try our aquatic disciplines, plan a family swim, or enjoy a quiet moment in the pool. However you choose to move, we will be here to make it enjoyable, welcoming, and warm.
