St Ives Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: It was excellent
Fantastic experience: Parked here for walk down into town, there is a park and ride here also.
Fantastic experience: Using it while on holiday for a week, £30 for a week pass is a little expensive but do get access to the pool and view from gym is nice
Fantastic experience: Great location and facility
Fantastic experience: Sessions are 60 mins £6 an adult, under 3's go free. Overall, it was a bargain! Water was warm enough for our 9 week old baby and our 4 year old could stand up everywhere in the kids pool. Lockers are only 25p and you can pay for it using a card or contactless Google pay etc. Parking is brilliant although you do pay for it with a barrier style system. Loads of parent child parking right beside the venue too. Changing rooms were clean and really easy to herd the kids to the pool as it's really easy access. The kids pool is a good size and there were only 2 other families in there when we visited at 10am. Big box full of floats and my 4 year old really enjoyed the little slide. The cafe was well priced £10.40 for 2 huge pieces of cake, a blueberry muffin, flat white, kids squash and cup of tea. Staff were very polite indeed. Possibly the best thing about St Ives so far on our trip as we didn't feel ripped off, we had fun and it was really calming. Just got home and both kids are asleep. Priceless!

Fantastic experience: Big parking full of spaces, a bit steep but as usual in Cornwall. You pay at the end so good not to have to calculated how long do we need to stay, but we didn’t have to show our ticket to come out, the barrier open itself .
Fantastic experience: Staff are very friendly and helpful extremely clean gym and pool really nice cubicles disabled wheelchair users available. Showers after using the pool could do with an renovation and possibly the floor. Reasonably priced for a swim there is a baby pool and a main pool available which the kids pools is heated. There is also a cafe inside and lifeguards always there.
Fantastic experience: Beautiful little town, must visit!
Fantastic experience: Today we enjoyed a very Covid-secure family swim. Easy to navigate their booking system. Friendly staff. The best things about this pool are unaffected by these unusual times: wide lanes, clean facilities, amazing views, the relative quietness in comparison to the brummy-heavy craziness of Fore Street and the harbour!

Fantastic experience: Polite friendly went totally over the top to help me out. Couldn't say enough about the staff. Superb service. Lots of parking, views to die for.
Fantastic experience: Super car park for visiting St Ives. They claim 1000 spaces. Not that expensive.
Fantastic experience: A lovely pool, friendly staff. Baby pool is lovely too with a little slide which my younger children always make use of. As a family we love visiting this pool. Would be nice if extra activities were put in for older children / teenagers. I don't understand why people have given it a bad review based on its car park, if you can't negotiate the car park may be you'd be safer walking and staying always from driving! The car park is nothing to do with the pool it's council run.
Fantastic experience: Excellent swimming school and leisure centre

Fantastic experience: Learner pool is warm. Staff friendly. Mega busy in summer and car park is shared with a town parking council car park- good luck getting a space in the summer!

Fantastic experience: Lovely swimming pool, always quiet, warm and friendly staff.. top notch

Fantastic experience: Great facilities with friendly and helpful staff. The monthly membership options are worth looking at, as you will save a lot of money if you intend to visit often and they work across all associated sites in Cornwall (which is all but two, from what I understand).
Fantastic experience: Fantastic warm friendly staff, who look after my children during their swimming lessons beautifully.
