Our comment from FitFit UK about Halo Highworth Recreation Centre:
Halo Highworth Recreation Centre is a valued local facility in Swindon, offering a range of sports and fitness options for all ages. Patrons appreciate the spacious and clean swimming pool, which is perfect for both recreational swims and scheduled lessons.
