Training in Wideopen

A village swim school and a country park.

SwimTech has taught swimming in Newcastle and North Tyneside for more than 30 years, and its own pool is at Greenfields Community Primary School in Wideopen, with lessons Monday to Saturday. Highfivefitness, We Move Fitness and Profitness Infusion cover fitness and personal training, Ilona Tate teaches qigong, and Jenian School of Dancing and Marian Lane School of Dance run dance classes.

Weetslade Country Park, east of the village, is reclaimed from old coal-mining land, and Lockey Park, home of Wideopen Juniors, has a public basketball court. Fix a regular time with a training partner and either park will do the rest.
