About the LeisureLink card

From as little as £2, a number of concessionary groups can benefit from discounted activities, including swimming, gym, fitness classes, and some junior activities, at selected leisure centres. Discounts vary depending on the day and time of your visit. 

Swimming for over-65s

If you are an adult Hillingdon library member, your LeisureLink card will also give you concessionary rates for borrowing talking books and CDs.
