Me Me 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: with the friendly, chatty staff and the clean, working facilities I have to give this place a 5 star! Saying that, the showers are scaldingly hot, if they reduce the temperature 8 degrees, they could help the planet and pull less money from the council!

R Tozer 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Bridport Leisure Centre offer a huge range of classes and facilities. The staff are always helpful and polite. I have attended BLC for many years for many reasons. Most recently to take my daughter to the Discovery Ducklings swim classes which she absolutely loves.

Positive experience: Didn't go inside as I was watching the rugby 10's comp. Carpark is free and I saw a couple of electric charging points.

Chris Green 2 years ago

Positive experience: Came to a family fun swim session in the week - but was surprised that such a busy pool facility doesn't have any family-friendly changing facilities? The men's changing rooms were far too noisy and boisterous (football chants and clothes being thrown around) for my young daughter, which really surprised me having been to numerous pools around the country.

Chris Turner 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Why do they call them 'Leisure Centres'? There's nothing leisurely about them! They involve pain, hard work and sweat! I shouldn't complain, I'm using the fitness suite for just that reason. Very glad it's still going - it's clean, well organised and the Suite has invested in a full range of new equipment.

Fantastic experience: I love Bridport Leisure Centre, clean upgraded environment, really helpful staff. Full gym and swimming pool, and many other classes and functions.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Leisure Centre. The only place in Bridport to charge up an Electric Car, because it has two reliable Instavolt Rapid Chargers near the entrance. Head down South Street and turn right at the traffic lights outside Morrisons. The Leisure Centre is on the left, past the old mill and the football club.

Jo Jenkinson 6 years ago

Negative experience: Customer service should be better. Arrived for public swim at 2pm to be told it was booked for private event for 1 hour. Returned at 3pm & then told customers would be told to get out at 3.45 for swimming lesson prep. Shame this was not mentioned at the first visit as we would not have bothered. On a positive, the pool is clean. Would have liked to use it for longer as would my 2 disappointed children.

Kieron Mccarthy 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had my first ducklings drop in with my little boy. First of all he did not like it but after the teacher got balls and watering cans out. He was hooked. He enjoyed the songs and dancing in the water. And he wants to do it again next week. Good lesson and friendly staff.
