Lucy Atkinson 2 years ago

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.

Iva Reis 2 years ago

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.

Jackle 2 years ago

Positive experience: Very nicely sized pool with courts and a cafe however in dire need of renovation. Changing rooms always feel a bit dingy and dirty and the toilets are worse. Seating area is in pretty poor condition as well and isn’t exactly cheap. On the other hand the gym is actually very well equipped with friendly staff.
