Our new website
Welcome to the new Kirklees Active Leisure website!
We have created our new website to be easy to follow but with as much information as possible to help all our customers.
There is so much going on in our sports centres and swimming pools, you may feel that you don't know where to start. Each of our centres have their own webpages which list their activities and facilities, opening times and give directions too for new customers.
We will make sure that the website is updated daily, with any new classes or initiatives flagged up in our news sections. You can also read about our latest refurbishments and new projects.
If you have an idea about the sort of activity you would like to try out, go to our comprehensive search facility. You can specify which sports centre (or even more than one if you would ike) you would like to use, what sort of activity, which day and period of day. You will be given a list of what's on to help you to choose.
We also have a whole section on memberships for people interested in joining our popular More Membership scheme. We will put any offers and other information on this section.
For children, we have put together lots of information about all the activities there are available, including playschemes, childcare (creche and afterschool club), courses and sessions. Go to our Energise pages to find out more.
Swimming is one of Kirklees' most popular activities and a great way to keep fit, using all the body's muscles without any stress on joints. It is essential for all children to learn to swim, so found out more about our Learn to Swim scheme. We also run swimming lessons for adults (including absolute beginners) and even offer some free lessons. If you are aged 16 and under or 60 and over, you can Swim4free, so don't delay, check out everything there is to know about swimming.
Some of our centres have cafes serving delicious, healthy food, all of which boast the Kirklees Healthy Choice Award. Some centres also offer facilities for functions and parties, with and without catering. Find out more in our catering section.
Our careers section is still being created, however anyone wishing to find out more about working for KAL can click through to the Kirklees Council website.
KAL is a charitable trust which aims to get more people more active more often. All our profits are reinvested back into our facilities. Find out more about us here.
We have just launched this new website and would value your feedback. If there is anything you particularly like or dislike, please tell us. If you have any suggestions to make about what we can add to make it more customer-friendly, then please let us know. Go to the Get in Touch page.
Happy surfing.
