Olympiad Leisure Centre

The Olympiad Leisure Centre is a leisure centre in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England.

History

The centre opened in 1989 and is owned by Wiltshire Council.[1][2]

In late 2019, the swimming pool was closed to allow the water slides to be removed.[3]

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.[4]

Facilities

The Olympiad Leisure Centre has a four-lane 25-metre swimming pool, sports hall, squash courts, and fitness suite.[5]
