 Scotland's Oldest Diving Centre |
30 Stanley Street Glasgow G41 1JB United Kingdom +44 0141 429 7575 http://www.aquatron.co.uk/ |
Aquatron is Scotland's oldest diving centre, it's been around since 1969. It sells all the diving equipment and accessories you could possibly want and will be happy to advise on what's best for your needs. In addition, it has a five-star scuba diving school, which runs classes approximately once a month (a basic qualification can be achieved after five separate days of training). Once you've mastered the art of underwater existence - or if you're already an expert - Aquatron will help you to arrange safe but exciting trips to more exotic waters as scuba diving in the River Clyde apparently offers few rewards.

 One of Scotland's best |
31 Bellahouston Drive Glasgow G52 1HH United Kingdom +44 141 427 0558 |
Located in Bellahouston Park, this is a superbly equipped, modern sports facility. The 10-court sports hall accommodates karate, judo, basketball, badminton and table tennis. Visitors can also play squash, use the fitness suites and studio, take aerobics classes and use the health suite. It also houses a gymnastics school of excellence. The Bellahouston Leisure Centre has become very popular recently thanks to its new swimming facilities. There is not only a 25 metre indoor pool, a fun pool and outdoor pool (for the really brave), but also a 100 foot flume and lazy river rapids, making this one of the best leisure centres in the country.

This is a much-awaited event held in Glasgow every summer, and it attracts approximately 60,000 people annually. Jet skiing, powerboat trips and sailing are some of the exhilarating activities organised for the thrill-seeking sportsperson. Dinghy sailing is another popular ride available for a nominal fee. The 'Tall Ship' is constantly moored at the harbour and is host to a fun-cum-educational programme for children. The city's maritime heritage is celebrated at this time of the year. The main sites of celebration are Glasgow Harbour, Glasgow Science Centre, and the S.E.C.C. (Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre). Review © 2007, Wcities |

An affordable opportunity to row |
Silverfir Street Glasgow G5 OJB United Kingdom +44 141 644 5942 |
Glasgow Rowing Club prides itself on its accessibility in what can be an expensive sport. It is run entirely by unpaid members so that prices are kept as low as possible. Their tri-annual fund-raising regattas are an even bigger help. The boathouse is on the south bank of the River Clyde, near Hutchesontown Bowling Club. The club welcomes anyone regardless of age or ability, and absolute beginners are normally taught by arrangement on Saturdays and Wednesdays. To arrange a trial visit apply by e-mail.

Victorian public pool in the west end |
10 Braid Square Glasgow G4 9YB United Kingdom +44 141 332 8102 |
The North Woodside Baths differs from most of its competitors through its sheer elegance. A converted Victorian "Bath and Wash-house", it boasts plush surroundings and a classical style. There's a pleasant atmosphere and a 25 metre pool in which to swim. The entire building is open to the public at very reasonable rates. However, be warned that in summer time (when it is typically pouring with rain), there are queues of children to fight your way through. It is usually safer relaxing in the sauna or tanning on the sun beds which are available on the premises. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A huge variety of leisure activities |
366 Hamilton Road Motherwell Glasgow ML1 3ED United Kingdom +44 169 826 6155 |
This 1,100-acre park is in the Clyde Valley just outside Glasgow, but it certainly justifies a trip as you could happily spend a lifetime here. Thousands of visitors a year come to enjoy everything from sailing on Strathclyde Loch to birdwatching in the woodland and wetlands. There is a well-equipped campsite and facilities for many sports on both land and water, including horseriding, orienteering, coarse angling, football, hockey, windsurfing, water skiing and Canadian canoeing. You'll also find M & D's, Scotland's theme park. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Ice, water and lots of fun |
100 Buchanan Street Coatbridge Glasgow ML5 1DL United Kingdom +44 123 644 9572 |
Witness an erupting volcano or rocket launches, swim through tropical storms or dodge a water-spraying serpent at this fun pool and leisure center. The ice skating rink is subject to snowstorms which makes staying upright even more of a battle. The Adventure Zone is suitable for kids aged 5-11 and also includes temptations like Biff Bash Canyon and the Tango Giant Slide. Parents who need a break can make use of the four cafe-bars and fully equipped gym, or treat themselves to a Tropicana Sunbed in the Health Suite. There's an ice disco for teenagers on Friday and Saturday evenings. Review © 2007, Wcities |
