Julie Haley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I visited this leisure centre yesterday for a 12pm (30/7/21) family fun swim with my husband and baby grandson who has complex needs. The staff were amazing nothing was too much for them and in particular a lady (wish I had got her name)in a black uniform was very accommodating and helpful . Our time there was made much easier and the baby had a fabulous time . Thankyou so much for making our afternoon such a pleasure and he loved the seat ring we were able to purchase . We will definitely be visiting again .

Fantastic experience: Second time bringing my children all the way from Hackney. I love it here! Huge pools, clean great fun and friendly staff.

Ruby Steele 2 years ago

Positive experience: I loved this pool and the little baby pool behind the main, but the water is sometimes freezing! My 1 year old sons lips turned blue once, so we left half way through our session. I also cut my foot a few times on a broken tile. But like i said i do love the pool its self and the staff are usually lovely and welcoming

Millwall Darren 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place to take kids swimming. Water was a bit cold when you get in but was fine by after a few minutes and getting your shoulders under like most pools. Good to have different pools to do what you want so kids dont get in the way of adults wanting to do lane swimming. Staff were friendly, helpful and also dont judge 30 year old men having a go down the water slides. The building could do with a bit of work done to it but its nothing major and you dont really notice when your kids in the water laughing and splashing having fun. Parking is 2 minutes on powis street.

Guy Halfhead 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great family friendly pool. Well organised post lockdown and super friendly staff. Kids and adults both had a great time.

Eva Szucs 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: A really great place to keep yourself fit. Fitness classes are great. Everything is at one place which is brilliant. You don't need to go to different places if you want to try something new. Pools are great but from time to time the water is freezing cold. That needs to be fixed as that it not healthy and both pools are deserted, management should believe when we say the water is cold. Still, a very great centre. Love the squash courts. I really like the fitness classes, however, there should be late afternoon and evening yoga classes as the 7am is not doable for those who work. Also, the Tuesday's yoga class is pilates at the moment which should be yoga. It's sad that Alejandra is off sick (love her teaching style) but the centre should find a yoga cover. Also, the pools need to be sorted out. The last 3 months or so, they are either freezing or closed all together. I wouldn't mind to to to another centre until Waterfront fixes its issues but not for extra £2-3 as it's not the customers' fault that the pools are freezing cold or under a week long maintenance. I still do like Waterfront but the gates (not scanning cards) drive me nuts. That issue puts a lot of pressure on the staff at the reception as not all customers are understanding, and to be fair, with a membership you should be able to scan the card and skip the long queue.As I am pretty tolerant and patient, I would still give Waterfront a 9 out of 10, but those problems are needed to be fixed asap.

Fantastic experience: Great centre with wonderful instructors and staff. Jane and Tara on reception were particularly kind and helpful.

David Moya 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having visited a lot of pools in London, I liked this quirky fun pool. It's relatively small and quite disjointed with odd little pools linked by going under bridges. I like the fact that there is a separate pool just for swimmers. Children have to swim two lengths front crawl if they want to go into the fun pool's deep end. The large slide is fast, dark and fun, while the multi slide is perfect for less adventurous kids. The staff were friendly, the price reasonable and the changing areas clean... If I lived closer I'd probably visit again

Fantastic experience: I love the variety of classes, the instructors are great, both gyms are quite big and there is also a swimming pool.

Ian Thomas 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Review not by Ian Thomas. By Luke Blakey Better GLL Waterfront is the cornerstone and foundation of our local community social enterprise. Something so much and so many have/has been given into and from which much has been gained by us all.I am proud of the hard work of the staff at the centre today and council (1978-88) who made its construction by the foot tunnel and woolwich free ferry for all of London possibleI do wish The Royal Arsenal headoffice would be more proud of this pioneering and cornerstone centre and protect it for all of London in perpetuity against those certain interests which threaten it.

Megan Connell 5 years ago

Sorcha DeBurca 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The lifeguards were attentive when some kids began acting silly and warned them politely there are young children in the pool.. Plenty of well kept changing rooms for family, good size too. Great price and lovely friendly reception staff who even checked we had 20p coin for the lockers, which swallow your coin each time you open it so dont do what I did and forget the goggles, then the safety ring...80p later.... Do check times before going, we didnt and had to wait 40 minutes - but thats my own fault. Kids were excited to go on the slide but as soon as it opened the queue was huge so I told them to wait then suddenly it was closed and then opened again an hour later just before we left so they got one go each.Kids were exhausted and slept through the car ride home. A fun fit family day out in a nice clean pool!

Simon McLaughlin 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have used the centre for appox 6 years, over the past twelve months there have been improvements in gym, but also small ones in the leisure and childrens pool, i.e. the fountains are now working and the old bridge has been removed. Could do with another sauna or steam room, but the building is what it is. The great advantage that I have seen over the past 12 months are the team: - Reception, if I remember correct Linda (I believe) is super, one time I had left all my cards at home with no money, and she helped me out. Who would do this, it showed great customer service and a great understanding. - Pool side staff, I find great when I go with my child, when he goes down the big slide the staff look after him for when I follow him. - On an important note, when a child gets in trouble, the response is excellent, they saved the child and cleared the pool in seconds, and it really was seconds. Changing room could do with a bit of clean, however I understand the volume going through you cannot be cleaning all of the time, and I feel for some of the team as some of the customers treat the centre like rubbish, again for example leaving rubbish all over the floor.

PRINCEWILLIIAM 2003 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I think this is one of the greatest pools I have ever seen since I first went swimming when I was younger. I also like the one upstairs where they have snacks and lunch where you can have them anytime they want. And of course even the pool looks fantastic with the crocodile design in the pool. It looks really magnificent. I'd really like to visit there in the summer this year. Maybe in June or July or hopefully August.
