Fantastic experience: Go swimming weekly here with my son, we use the small pool only. He loves it. Great facility for helping him build confidence in the water. Separated from the big pool which is good because it limits distractions. Staff are always friendly too.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, have visited every part of the building except the gym but hope to go there soon. The kids’ pool is warm but not too hot, perfect for the little ones. The changing rooms are spectacular, clean most of the time and the perfect size. The main pool is always extremely clean and a good depth, easily standable at the shallow end and a good challenge to touch the bottom at the deep end. The lanes are long, and the flags across the lanes make it easy to see how far along you are, especially when doing backstroke, in which it is difficult to see ahead. The staff are always pleasant and there is plenty of them. I have only 3 minor issues: 1) In the main pool, there are 3 clocks - none of them are in time with each other. 2) The showers are a little too hot, but easy to get used to. 3) I have once been almost walked in on by a child while getting changed, as it seems you can unlock the changing rooms from the outside by swiping your finger across the vacancy indicator, but I am not sure many people would notice this. Once again, amazing location and perfect for going by yourself, with your family or with your peers.

Opulent Sunset 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been swimming twice since they re-opened. Really well organised and the same friendly poolside staff. No problems booking either. Main differences to pre-coronavirus are a) need to book, b) follow one-way and wear a mask in corridors and c) no showers (unless e.g. you have a skin condition)

Carol Peter 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went here with my daughter to watch grandchildren while they were in the pool. I had never been here before but I was impressed with the spectator area as it was all individual seats and they were very comfy. The toilet facilities were really clean, and all the other areas of the swimming centre were too.. The lifeguards on duty were very vigilant, and all the staff were friendly and professional. I highly recommend a visit to Dunston leisure centre.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding leisure centre with helpful, friendly staff. Great that the swimming pool has reopened after 14 months being closed due to the pandemic. Sports and exercise are so important for people's fitness, long-term health (both physical and mental) and general well-being.

Simon Wardle 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Favourite swimming pool in Gateshead - usually plenty of room to do ĺengths. I also take my daughter and having the very deep deep-end (3.8m I think) means lots of fun diving and jumping in. However - no diving boards / slides etc and small pool is usually closed for swimming lessons in the evenings (except on thursdays)
