The Royal Borough has a close affinity with watersports. With the River Thames running through the Borough and a number of reservoirs and the world-class rowing lake at Dorney, the Royal Borough it the perfect setting to get onto the water.

Watersports have become ever-more important to the Royal Borough as the Dorney Rowing Lake has been chosen for the Olympic venue of the 2012 Rowing, Adapted Rowing and Flat-Water Canoeing/Kayaking.  

Swimming

Swimming is available at a number of leisure centres throughout the Royal Borough.  See out listings for the Windsor and Magnet leisure centres.  A number of hotels also have swimming pools available for guests.  Check our accommodation section to browse hotels and their leisure facilities.
