Activ8 Gym
For those aged up to 14, look out for special cardholder offers at Activ8 Gyms (available at Gorbals Leisure Centre, Nethercraigs and Holyrood Sports Centres). They offer fun fitness activities using special newly designed equipment.
Free swimming
Your Glasgow Young Scot Card can be used to access free swimming at any Glasgow City Council pool. Our pools are located around the city. We’re open seven days and you can swim as often as you like by showing your Card. On arrival, hand over your card - it'll be swiped and you will be given a ticket.
Please note that restrictions on the time of free swims vary across the city due to adult only/family sessions so it's a good idea to contact the pool prior to use. Only females aged 16 and over will be able to access facilities during Ladies Only sessions.
10% off Pay-As-You-Go activities
Your Glasgow Young Scot Card gives you a 10% discount on all Pay-As-You-Go activities such as badminton, football, and cheerleading at Glasgow City Council leisure centres. The 10% discount does not apply for pre-booked courses such as gymnastics, learn to swim or activities which are already discounted.
