Kingsmead Leisure Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Offer great classes, helpful coaches and well done to Nicole taking the class last minute today for combat
Fantastic experience: Brilliant staff
Fantastic experience: What is the price ? One session in the pool? 
Fantastic experience: Darren is a very commited coach. Great place for all levels. Very happy to train here regularly. Joe
Fantastic experience: Kids had fun at the family session. Staff were really friendly and helpful as we had no change for the lockers. It’s a cashless site.
Fantastic experience: I am having swimming lessons s at Kingsmead. The lessons are great, the instructor is very friendly and attends to all the students, guiding according to our levels. The pool is big and there's also the small shallow pool. The wet changing is a large room with several showers, lockers, cubicles, hair dryers, mirror, and access to female and male toilet and to the pool area. You do need a pound coin for the lockers. The pool temperature is just right, not too hot or cold, and the chlorine is just right as well, not too much. I don't stink of chlorine afterwards.
