National Fitness Day 2025 – Powered by You
Celebrate With Us on 24th September
Join us this National Fitness Day as we bring the community together for a day of energy, movement, and celebration. This year’s theme is “Powered by You” – because it’s your energy, your passion, and your participation that make this day possible.
Whether you love making a splash in the pool or moving to the beat outdoors, we’ve got something special planned for everyone.
🏊 Swimathon – “Swim the Channel” Challenge at Neath Leisure Centre
To mark National Fitness Day, NLC is hosting a community Swimathon during the early morning session, running up until 10:00am.
This year, we’re taking on an exciting challenge: “Swimming the Channel” – covering 18.6 miles (1,416 pool lengths) together as a community.
🕖 Event time: Early morning from 6.30am – 10:00am.
🏊 Two lanes of the pool will be dedicated to the Swimathon.
Every length counts, and every splash is Powered by You.
💃 Group Exercise on Aberavon Beachfront
Head to the beachfront for a high-energy group exercise session in the fresh sea air. Together, we’ll create a fitness spectacle that captures the spirit of National Fitness Day.
🕖 Event time: 12.00pm – 1.00pm.
☔ Adverse weather? No problem. If conditions don’t allow us to be outdoors, we’ll bring the energy inside to the ALF café area.
