Winter Paralympic Hero Jade To Open Yarborough’s £1million Redevelopment

After a £1million redevelopment Yarborough Leisure Centre is now among the best venues in Lincoln for sport and exercise and who better to help us celebrate its official opening than the city’s very own Winter Paralympic hero Jade Etherington.

On Saturday, Jade will officially kick start our Discovery Weekend where we will unveil all of the hard work that has gone in to transforming Yarborough Leisure Centre.

Every area of the venue has been transformed – but don’t just take our word for it, come down and see for yourself!

Last year Jade grabbed headlines around the world as she and guide Caroline Powell won three silver medals and a bronze at the 2014 Winter Paralympic Games in Sochi – making them the most successful British female Winter Paralympians of all time.

The alpine skier has only 5 per cent vision in both eyes and was also asked to be the British flagbearer at the closing ceremony. She has since retired from the Paralympic Skiing Programme.

Active Nation supported Jade in her bid for Paralympic success while she was completing her teacher training placement at neighbouring Lincoln Castle Academy. So, who better to help us officially open our transformed venue?

As part of the weekend we are inviting everyone to enjoy a free workout in the new 2-storey gym equipped with all of the latest kit, including 2 new Wattbikes, a brilliant new multi-station small group training functional rig, 2 Octane cross trainers and loads of other brilliant equipment that will help you get the most out of your session.

Take part in a free class! With a wide range of classes running over the weekend there will be something for everyone. From Body Combat to CX Worx, yoga, Aqua, Dance Fusion, Family Zumba and so much more! But be quick as these are filling up fast!

Go for a ride in the new cycling studio!

Go for a swim! With free casual swimming on Saturday from 10am-6pm and Sunday from 9.30am-5.30pm it’s a great chance to have some free family fun. Or relax in the new sauna and steam cabins.

It really does promise to be a great weekend and we hope to see as many of our supporters as possible enjoying all of the free sport and exercise that will be on offer.
