  • "Fantastic swimming Pool. Staff friendly and helpful, cafe food good also."
  • "Cafe staff were very friendly."
  • "Fantastic! Special mention for Gina on the Reception who made sure we had everything we needed."
  • "Wanted to give a shout out to the reception staff as they are always super friendly and helpful."
  • "All the staff were kind, helpful, polite, friendly, smiling, efficient and professional."

Cons:

  • "Honestly some of the staff in there are vile!"
  • "Me and my mother took my youngest sibling (who is severely autistic) on the spectrum swimming for a nice day out my brother began to try and go back down a babies water slide and the young lady working was very very rude in the way that she had spoken to myself and my mother at that time and place, she had no understanding of customer service and no thought on my brothers obvious needs."
  • "This place has such potential but the customer service is horrendous."
  • "Horrendous customer service...service and food...massively let's down the pool itself."
  • "The hygiene is pretty poor and the availability of showers and changing rooms makes it very hard to use them when there are a lot of people."
  • "It's a shame that they are still charging full price even though flumes still are not working and new water feature isn't working either."
  • "The facilities could be amazing but the cleanliness is horrendous."

Facilities and Cleanliness

Pros:

  • "Lockers are Clean and Tidy after the new refurbishment."
  • "Very spacious family changing rooms."
  • "The pools are nice, clean, warm enough for gentle swim as well as workout swimming."
  • "Nice leisure pool, has a lazy river and three slides. Very small deep area. Waves come on every 15 minutes I think; they're stronger than I expected. Lots of changing rooms. Seemed clean."
  • "Pool changing rooms always cleaned regularly."
  • "Locker rooms and showers have been refurbished which is great."
  • "Facilities are well looked after and it is clean and reasonably priced."

Cons:

  • "The actual pull down baby matts attached to the wall seem to angle at a downward slope, so you are constantly worried your baby will slip off them, they need to be replaced."
  • "Cold cold cold. If you want to get in a cold pool and then a cold shower and then a cold changing room this is the place for you."
  • "Would be a lovely place but unfortunately it is falling to pieces. There is always something out of order."
  • "Changing rooms are always dirty and could just do with a clean around every couple of hours or so."
  • "Place is in a bit of a sorry state at the moment with no flumes, no rapids even the kids water fun area is switched off."
  • "Public / shared shower, small dark changing cubicles, some lockers are out of order."
  • "Visited yesterday and to be honest won’t be rushing back anytime soon... dirty nappies in the shower area, changing rooms with broken hangers and 6 out of the 8 hairdryers not working."

Booking and Accessibility

Pros:

  • "Membership for me is fantastic value now i can make the most of it."
  • "Don't need to book, clean and dry floors in the changing rooms, and plenty of space in the pool for an early morning swim."
  • "We’ve used Pool in the Park for over 8 years, their website has improved."
  • "The pool is much warmer now than it used to be."
  • "Price reasonable."
  • "Provides all I need for my swimming exercise and the pool seems well organised."
  • "There is quite extensive renovations being undertaken at the moment but the new boiler meant the pool was nice and warm."

Cons:

  • "Opening times during term time is 4pm !! So don't come early guys or you will be sternly refused by overzealous staff's!!"
  • "You can't actually book swimming. For some reason the website tells you to phone to make a booking but they never answer the phone and never return messages."
  • "So IF you can find a way to get booked, do, the pool is fab, but don't expect the full 45 minutes for your money, or anything that remotely ressembles customer service."
  • "Every time I go here there's a problem. This time they were short staffed, but you only find this out after waiting 45 minutes in a queue."
  • "Busy Saturday and due to staff shortage after waiting for an hour to get in we were told that they won’t let more people in."
  • "Disorganised chaos with staff doing their best but a system that makes no sense! You can’t book online so big queues of families all turning up to try and get leisure pool tickets on the spot, but then offering no availability for another 2/3 hours?"
  • "AVOID AVOID AVOID. They have a booking system from 1930 which basically means you have to turn up and hope you get in."

Swimming Lessons and Activities

Pros:

  • "Great under 3s swimming session and lovely pool."
  • "Great swimming teachers. My kids have been attending for years."
  • "The showers don’t have much power but there’s enough life in them to wash off the chlorine."
  • "My whole family likes the the Leisure Lagoon."
  • "Visited the lagoon which is great for kids lots to do with water play and the lazy river."
  • "It’s a great day out with the lovely park outside with sand and water to play with."
  • "Fun swim with grandkids. Plenty of slides etc to entertain."
