Facilities
Pros:
"Larkfield swimming pool is fantastic. There is so much for kids to do here. The pool has flumes, a wave machine, a rapid river."
"Great fun-pool with huge ceiling to floor slides, as well as a separate exercise pool in a different room."
"Nice selection of pools and slides."
"It has a couple of hydro slides, circular river, wave machine, jacuzzi (pool temp), learner pool, and toddler pool with mini slides."
"Great pools, including a jacuzzi, whirlpool, casual/wave pool, mini pool for small children, large lane pool and two water slides."
"The main leisure pool is normally at least 1° warmer than other pools in the area and the learners pool is like getting into a hot bath (heaven after a cold swim)."
"Amazing swimming pool, fantastic activities for kids and fun for adults like the wave machine and the lazy rapids."
Cons:
"Filthy sauna and changing rooms."
"The changing cabins (mens) have a cream like gunk on the floors."
"A few of the doors did not have locks."
"All the pool areas are separated from each other and to get from one to another we had to walk on slippery tiles."
"The decorative stone area around the leisure pool, however, was filthy with used plasters, old drink straws, and other detritus that was easily touched by children/swimmers who were clutching the edge of the pool."
"Changing rooms are always dirty and lots of sand in every pool."
"The floors in the changing rooms are rarely cleaned and covered in mud."

"Friendly and polite staff that make your visit very enjoyable."
"Changing area is clean enough and staff in the centre are good."
"Staff are helpful."
"Staff helpful - thanks to the lady that gave my son an eye wash kit."
"The receptionists seemed happy and the lifeguards were paying attention which was nice to see."
"Friendly receptionists will sort you out with booking."
Cons:
"Ridiculous system. Should be able to book slots online."
"The lifeguards never watch the POOL."
"The staff are unhelpful and disinterested in being there."
"Better communication between staff and better cleaning standards are needed."
"The communication with the staff was very poor, the attitude of the staff was disappointing."
"The staff are clearly unqualified little pups with a bit of power gone to their heads."
"Staff is not much helpful in setting up the courts for use by the time of your booking."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Swimming prices are cheap for what you get."
"They have a buffet where you can sit down and have something to eat or drink."
"Good prices for the facilities, they have waves every half an hour, there's water slides and a jacuzzi tub."
"Very good swimming pool for family with kids in different age. Price for family ticket (2+2) almost 20£ but it is worth it."
"Good value for money if you are looking for a leisure pool and not serious lane swimming."
"The cafe serves plenty of healthy options and stays open as late as the pool."
"Reasonably priced 8/10 and the food/cafe was ok."
Cons:
"just visited today and wasted £9,80."
"Rubbish for the cost!"
"The cafe was overpriced so we didn't bother in the end."
"Quite expensive for two adults with two children under 3. Cost 14 pounds and we were only in for an hour."
"Also very expensive."
"The cafe is overpriced and poor quality in our view."
"It also cost £16.80 for just me and my 3yr old to go in which I think is extortionate."

"One of the few changing rooms for babies that there were didn’t have a door on it."
"Family changing rooms needed a good clean and also muddy shoes prints around the pools."
"The place had a strange disgusting smell, I'm guessing from the grimy looking drains and the toilets made me want to gag."
"Changing rooms and pool are in a filthy state. plasters in the drains and nappies left lying about."
