Upcoming pool improvements
We are going to be redecorating the pool and installing new boilers at SWFLC, meaning the pool will be closed and showers will be unavailable for a time. Work starts on Monday 4 November and is planned to finish by Saturday 21 December 2024. You can read more about the SWFLC improvement works and what it means for you. We apologise for any inconvenience.
Short mat bowls
Join one of our fun and social Short Mat Bowls sessions at Chelmsford Sport and Athletics Centre (CSAC).
Short mat bowls is a social sport played indoors. Our sessions are a fun way to learn how to play bowls and improve your skills in a friendly and relaxed environment.
Games are played between teams of two (pairs) or three (triples) usually over six ‘ends’. These sessions are for those who have played before and those who would like to try something new.
Equipment is provided, but you can bring your own bowls if you prefer.
