[Andrew Ibbotson](https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116734216651039911769/reviews) ★★★★★

Fantastic leisure centre. Well looked after facilities and helpful staff. Lots of space in the big pool for swimming lessons and lane swimmers. Lots of free parking.

I think this is a great leisure centre. We went for a swim today. The changing rooms and poolside areas are very clean. It helps that you are required to remove shoes before entering the changing area. The pool itself is a good temperature for swimming and the pool area is light and airy. All the staff are helpful.

Lovely afternoon at the float session. Changing rooms clean, pool warm, staff helpful. Just the ticket for a visiting 5 year old Granddaughter.

Absolutely disgusted! Went to take my children swimming when this lady around in her 60’s with glasses practically barged into me, instead of apologising, she huffed and puffed at me like it was MY fault and glared at me! And then as I was walking past, decided to follow me into changing, and began swearing out loud to herself whilst cleaning around my children who heard her! Not to mention earlier on before I got them ready for swimming, I heard this very same lady slagging off people, mentioning something about how she sick of her coworker called Jenna??? And that she's hoping for something to bad to happen to someone whilst lifeguards?? what kind of woman wants something bad to happen to people in the pool? Completely unprofessional and unacceptable behaviour
