Sutton-in-Ashfield has had a public swimming pool since 1926.  The first one was built on Brook Street and was paid for by the local Miners Welfare fund. Initially, the pool was only open during the summer months, with the pool being covered and used as a dancehall in the winter.  In 1969, a new 25m-long pool (with high diving board and 4m deep end) was opened next door to the original pool (which was from then on used as a teaching pool).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Brook Street Swimming Pools|publisher=Our Nottinghamshire|url=http://www.ournottinghamshire.org.uk/page_id__516.aspx|access-date=13 August 2015}}</ref> In the 1970s, as part of the construction of the Sutton Centre School, a public ice rink was provided.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Sutton Centre Ice Rink|publisher=Lammas Ice Skating Club|url=http://www.lammasisc.co.uk/about-us/4569598389|access-date=13 August 2015}}</ref> In 2008, the Brook Street swimming pools and the Sutton Centre ice rink were closed and the Lammas Leisure Centre on Lammas Road opened.  The formal opening was performed by Dame Kelly Holmes.  The Lammas Leisure Centre has 2 swimming pools (main and teaching), an ice rink (home to Sutton Sting Ice Hockey Academy), a gym, a multi-purpose sports hall and an indoor bowling green.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Lammas Leisure Centre Opening|publisher=Ashfield CHAD|url=http://www.chad.co.uk/news/local/video-dame-kelly-opens-new-163-16m-lammas-leisure-centre-1-705958|access-date=13 August 2015}}</ref>
