Meridian Leisure Centre: Opinions
Positive experience: Clean, tidy and well presented
Positive experience: Been going to the swimming pool for many years already. It's usually quite good, but the staff around may lack communication skills. This morning there was a poo accident in the swimming people. I am concerned if things weren't rushed. A young guy removed the contamination( i hope it was a thorough inspection for such a big facility and the on-duty manager should have followed a correct protocol) and 15 min later the swimming pool was reintroduced to the customers. It is long enough, is everything being checked well and filtered?
Negative experience: Water in large pool is always cold.they do not allow you to take inflatables in so really boring .
Positive experience: As a member just feel that we should be able to have proper cups and not paper cups on swimming gala days. We have to arrange how we get there as no parking spaces available., I realise you get paid a lot of money for the hire of the facilities but you need to think of your members.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Induction course was informative, as it should be. Facilities are great.
Positive experience: Recently started playing Pickleball here in the sports hall and really enjoy it. Today we drove half an hour from home to Louth only to find there is no play today due to the hall being used by blood donors. It would have been nice if the Meridian centre had posted about this on its website to let people know in advance and not have a wasted journey. Also I am surprised this hall is needed for blood donation when it is busy with sports activities. Surely there are other suitable premises in Louth that are available in the daytime?
Fantastic experience: Enjoy my time there not too busy x great staff
Fantastic experience: Great place for energetic kids!
Fantastic experience: Conducting my cardio rehab here for the last 5 weeks, fabulous leisure centre with lovely pool and cafe setup.
Fantastic experience: Great place as water always warm and kids love it
Fantastic experience: It's a very nice, modern building, and from my brief visit, seems to be well equipped. The staff there are both helpful and friendly. I went to observe an aquacise class and sat in their spacious viewing section. I've also eaten and had a coffee there in their ground floor cafe,the coffee and food were nice and at a reasonable price. Unfortunately no pictures were taken for privacy reasons.

Fantastic experience: Great place
Thanks for the 5 star review
Positive experience: Cold main pool, we eventually got used to it but felt cold the rest of the day, Toddler pool is shallow but nice and warm Slide was closed when we went, We paid online it was very easy straightforward and quick, helpful person on reception who was friendly and efficient
Sorry to read that the main pool felt cold. The temperature runs between 29-30 but the small pool is 32 which can make the main pool feel cooler.
Fantastic experience: Very nice setting lots of activities perfect for all ages

Fantastic experience: Best leisure centre for miles!!
Thank you for taking time to complete a review. Great to read that you enjoy the facilities. This really made us smile!
Fantastic experience: The kids have had a lovely day there today I will be taking the kids back
Negative experience: Came whilst on holiday. Booked a double MV pool party session in advance for kids Got here for 5. Cafe closed. So I sat there as a spectator for 2 hours with out being able to get a drink as the drink machine was also out of order and also the flume was closed to swimmers. Pool party consisted of a few balls thrown in pool and half a dozen pool noodles. I wouldn't recommend. Waste of money
Positive experience: good gym its like a tardis here
Positive experience: Great little sports centre, bigger than it looks.
Fantastic experience: Went there for a tour, and used the gym a few times. Pretty enjoyable experience. There weren't a lot of people when I went. (Around 6-7pm)
Positive experience: Good staff can't fault em, changing rooms and pool area could do with a scrub...few polar bears and penguins maybe to suit water temperature but at least you can warm up in the cold showers.
Fantastic experience: Very good place to learn swimming
Fantastic experience: Been using this facility for several months. The layout and facility is clean fresh and the staff are excellent. The clubs are great and very proactive trainers. Shout out to Lewis and lou (gym & swim) our son loves there classes. Plenty for all the family .. worth the drive.
Fantastic experience: A great place to relax and play sports, many sports. Very professional staff. Friendly and cheerful trainers. I am from Ukraine and with great pleasure I go to swimming, water aerobics and the gym. I recommend everyone to visit the sports and fitness center.
Fantastic experience: Took the grandchildren swimming in half term. Clean changing rooms.
Positive experience: Some times you can't get into a class as they fill up very quickly
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place, friendly staff, clean modern gym facility
Fantastic experience: We had a great time at the family fun session. We used the main pool with floats and then to the smaller shallower leisure pool . The children 11 and 8, loved it all especially the large slide. We spent well over an hour and a half in the water. We had a late lunch in the cafe. The food was very good quality. We found all the staff very pleasant and helpful . The whole area was clean and well looked after. We will definitely be visiting again
Thanks for the detailed 5* review. Great to hear you had an enjoyable visit.
Fantastic experience: A brilliant facility, all staff are friendly, a great day. The canteen was awesome.
thanks for our 5* glad you enjoyed your visit.
Fantastic experience: What a lovely venue for a coffee, smoothie or lunch. The staff are amazing, we hold a weekly event here and the staff just can’t do enough. They go above and beyond. I wish I could give them 10 stars ⭐️
Thank you so much for your kind words. Great to hear about your experience.
Fantastic experience: It’s our children’s favourite pool. It’s clean, it’s spacious and there are plenty of lockers and cubicles. Family changing so no having to divide up children between the parents.
thanks for our 5* glad you enjoyed your visit.
Fantastic experience: We visited Meridian Leisure Centre while on holiday in Mablethorpe. We took our 5 month old and 2.5 year old swimming/Paddling in the "pirate ship pool". They loved it. Really nice and warm pool. It was nice to see the lifeguards so alert and watchful of the entire pool area. The changing rooms were nice (family changing cubicles available) though some locker keys had broken bracelets. The receptionist was helpful and when we rang in the morning to ask a few questions, we got through straight away and they couldn't have been nicer. I'd thoroughly recommend.
Thank you so much for your detailed review. Great to hear you had an enjoyable visit. We have now completed a locker audit and have ordered parts for repairs. Thanks for highlighting.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly helpful staff good atmosphere great cafe and gym and swimming.
Fantastic experience: We had to find somewhere else to swim with the children as on our park site, it was completely booked up with it being August, school holidays. I searched up pools in that area and found this place, 20 mins from where we were staying.... we are so glad we did as it was a 100 times better than the pool on site! The complex itself was huge! Staff were lovely, large children's pool was lovely and warm. The children got to go on a water slide which they loved. The larger pool wasn't to cold either. They had fun inflatables out for children in the larger pool too! It wasn't packed at all so you could actually swim. There were lockers to put your belongings in and plenty of cubicles to get dry. Also a large cafe/dining area in the complex too. Brilliant place.
Thanks for a great review. So pleased you had a great visit. We hope you had a great holiday too!
Fantastic experience: A lovely swimming pool that suits all the family. Well organised, clean & tidy, excellent changing facilities. The staff were very helpful, will definitely be going again.
thanks for our 5* glad you enjoyed your visit.
Fantastic experience: Kids loved the family fun session
thanks for our 5* glad you enjoyed your visit.
Positive experience: Clean great music while swimming nice atmosphere
Positive experience: Great facility. Would be 5 star if the reception team decided to answer the phone once in a while.
Fantastic experience: Excellent place, great staff and always spotlessly clean. Wish that there was more space for the general swim though.
Fantastic experience: Large leisure centre with lots of facilities. Pool, gym, sports hall, dance studio & cafe. Lots of parking. Friendly staff.
Positive experience: Took the Grandchildren on a rainy day in the 6 weeks holidays, it was good fun and we were in there 2 - 3 hours which was plenty of time nice changing facilities as well, a few draw backs where that it was very crowded and busy possibly because of a rainy day also the chlorine was really strong took all the rest of the day for my eyes to stop stinging same as one of my granddaughters. The worst was at the end of the sessions when they were spraying chlorine around the changing rooms before the last customers were out my eyes streamed instantly.(terrible feeling). The large drying machine also states dry yourself environmentally friendly by not using your towel how can this be when you need electric for this and it generates heat the sign needs changing as its untrue
Positive experience: Good pool, friendly staff, fairly busy, worth pre booking for lane swimming.
Positive experience: Cant beat it in really but I think it closes far to early on a Saturday especially in the summer. Early finish on a Sunday is understandable but for the price I think 8pm on a Saturday would be a reasonable time to shut.
Fantastic experience: Kids absolutely love swimming I also enjoy it to x
Positive experience: Good facilities, and staff are friendly and helpful, I enjoy a swim now and then but cancelled my gym membership partly due to time commitments of work and partly because it is so hard to get a space in any of the evening pilates sessions, they are almost always oversubscribed.
Fantastic experience: First ever yoga experience, absolutely loved it.
Fantastic experience: Great kiddies pool with pirate ship. Restaurant good
Fantastic experience: Great pool for kids. Lovely and warm and reasonably priced!
Fantastic experience: Omg the staff here are so friendly and helpful. We are on a camping holiday & there was an issue with the water so I couldn't have a shower. Phoned leisure centre & they said there was an option to pay for a shower. Staff were really friendly & directed me to a less busy changing room as it was super busy due to Bank Holiday. Had a great shower & this has saved my holiday. Thank you Sara & the Team
Positive experience: Whilst paying at the checkout after a shop and chatting with the lovely lady on the til, I mentioned wanting to go swimming ♀️ but not looking forward to the half term mayhem at my local leisure centre. Fortunately, she suggested Meridian in Louth. Thankfully, we followed her advice, and all had a great time thanks to her suggestion, and we'll definitely visit again x
Great to hear you had a lovely time! thanks for the review
Fantastic experience: Go here to play cricket winter nets. Great and roomy and the pool and other facilities seem good
thanks for the 5star review!
Fantastic experience: Thats what I wanted but if it be open till 10 it get great
thanks for the 5star review! We review programmes each quarter and will include your comments. If the demand is there we will be looking to extend hours.
Positive experience: Staff very helpful. Dissatisfied with changing areas. Pool cool
Fantastic experience: Great place was on waiting lost for zumba and was called to say there was space
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff, God viewing platform for the pool
Fantastic experience: Fun good slides and I really enjoy swimming here. I was in swimming lessons here and also rookie lifeguards. Teaches you well and good instructors.
Fantastic experience: This gym trainer, think his name is george is the rizz master, bro all i see him doing is curling 500kg and then chatting up some random girl cause he’s just a beast, aspire to be george. Not to mention he’s very friendly and pushes everyone to their limits cause nobody wants to disappoint the rizzard of oz, give this guy a raise if he’s not already the owner of the whole building
Positive experience: Good gym, swimming pool is always very very busy. Great staff, but the opening times are terrible 6am in the week is just not early enough. They would have loads more member is they changed it to 5am so the working people could train before work. But apart for that it’s a great place
Fantastic experience: Great staff, great gym and pool.
Positive experience: The pool itself is great and the staff are lovely. Not immaculate but it has heavy traffic so that's not expected. Baby pool is great for kids especially with the slides The cafe was good too The toys etc are quite expensive and no prices on them either which isn't ideal but overall it's a good pool to use
Fantastic experience: Kind and compassionate - Marko and Sarah have been brilliant in their approach considering my physical health hasn't been great and therefore have not been able to attend lately. Couldn't have asked for better support.
Great to hear Erica. We will ensure Marko and Sarah see these kind words. Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
Positive experience: Really fun pool for kids! not just your average swimming pool
Fantastic experience: Took my grandson for his swimming lesson. Good facilities and nice cafe.
Fantastic experience: Food in the Aqua vita cafe is excellent. But my main joy is they always manage to make safe gluten free . Coeliac delighted !
Fantastic experience: Really clean .. Good facilities.. Nice cafe with good quality food .. staff pleasant
Fantastic experience: Very good service and excellent staff helping you in all your needs
Fantastic experience: We come here at least twice a week and always have a great time. The staff are friendly and facilities are excellent. The cafe serves good food at a great price.
Great to hear you had a good time! Hopefully see you again soon
Fantastic experience: Very good center. As an Autistc man I struggle anywhere new and un-expected. My partner and I called up to understand the facilities and the staff where lovely and understanding towards us. Even when we arrived the reception team spotted our sunflower lanyards and where instantly aware we needed a little extra explaining and signposting where we where going (thank you). Yes in the pool I struggled with the amount of people, but the lifeguard was so understanding especially when my partner asked about the lanes. It's rare for us to find a location to go to, who really does understand Neurodiversity in general especially Autism. Thank you for a wonderfully supported experience and we will be back!
Great to hear Andi. We will make sure the team see your comments! So glad you had a great visit
Negative experience: The changing rooms need a good overall. Childrens nappies left in one locker for 4 days. Obviously the teenagers they employ don’t know how to clean. Toilets smelly and disgusting, toilet paper all over the floor. Pool always freezing. We follow the smaller kids swimming lessons, and the poor kiddies look blue when they come out. One little lad was sobbing to come out of the pool dithering. The members area is just as bad.
Fantastic experience: Very good for kids and family
Positive experience: First time I've been. I went for a swim. The centre is really nice and new, the swimming pool is lovely, and the changing rooms are very clean. Staff were really friendly and professional. Reason for 4 star.... I went for a lane swim and there was only one lane. I expected slow, medium and fast lanes. I had to swim in the un laned part of the pool, and people were getting in the way, or vice versa. Half the pool was closed off for special people.
Positive experience: Good family outing, plenty of safety, my only comment is cafe was dirty
Positive experience: Wensday 1st June at football club need toilet I go get there find out girls toilets are out of order. Now 8th of June still out of order not good . For example what if a girl really really really needs the toilet she might wet her self and feel embarrassed.
Positive experience: I only use early morning swim facility. Good pool and good changing facilities
Positive experience: Kids pool good main pool cold
Fantastic experience: Lovely,had a great British breakfast while meeting someone there ,5 stars from a guy from Canada visiting
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and staff. The catering was too notch and great value for money.
Fantastic experience: Well worth a visit.. Great pool for families..cafe on site
Fantastic experience: Friendly and polite staff, smaller pool is lovely and warm for the little one. He loved it and even got to go down the pirate ship slide for the first time!
Fantastic experience: It was really great for the kids. We travelled from South Yorkshire to visit with family. Would highly recommend to anyone with small children and the kids pool is spot on
Positive experience: Lovely place with friendly staff and lots to do for the whole family. The only down point is the baby changing facilities. Although they have baby changing in reception it is just a changing table with no toilet so attending alone with a baby means you either cannot go to the toilet while there or you have to attempt to hold your baby in your arms while going to the normal ladies toilet which is difficult to say the least. Unfortunately this is fairly common in a lot of places where lone parents are not catered for.
Fantastic experience: Nice staff clean facilities good range of gym equipment
Positive experience: Good facilities. We were here for a swimming gala. Friendly staff
Positive experience: Only went to watch granddaughter learning to swim but it looks nice pool but if you go upstairs to watch it is unbelievably hot.
Positive experience: Facilities are pretty good and staff always pleasant and helpful
Fantastic experience: Friendly gym staff made me feel at ease
Thanks for the 5star review - great to hear
Fantastic experience: I'm just getting back into going to the gym after many years of feeling limited by my disability, the staff here helped me find my way to get back into shape other than the round one the lockdown and my love for chocolate have caused. Even got the hubs involved. Great place. Great staff. Would recommend
Thanks for the great review! Great to hear you're back on your fitness journey!
Positive experience: Good place for swimming took my daughter she likes the pirate pool but it's a bit expensive .
Thanks for the review Richard
Positive experience: Good swimming pools but very cold. Changing rooms are good and clean
Hi Kirsty. thanks for the review. We are sorry to read your experience of the pool. Could you please provide me with the details of your visit so I can check the water temperatures? Our main pool is maintained at 29 degrees and our baby pool is 32.
Fantastic experience: Good range of facilities. Cafe with contact less payment system.
Thanks for your review Ben! great to hear you enjoy
Fantastic experience: Hired a room for our group; everyone agreed that it was near perfect for our needs. Cafe serves good coffee and cake, a bonus.
Great to hear Joyce! Hopefully see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Took my grandson swimming. Again we'll organised classes and space for others to swim and play.
Thanks for the Feedback. Great to hear you had an enjoyable visit.
Positive experience: Turned up cant swim so went cleethorpes instead we go every week lovely pool. Cant comment on this pool as cant swim in the night with the family shame as it is alot closer
Hi Teresa, sorry to hear you didn't get your swim. The timetable has been recently updated and all bookings can be completed by downloading the Magna Vitae app.
Fantastic experience: The staff are very friendly and helpful at reception. It's a good size pool with a great area for young children to play and a flume. Plenty of changing rooms and lockers. Looked clean and tidy.
Thanks for this lovely review. This has been shared with the team! :o)
Fantastic experience: A very clean swimming pool with friendly staff. The centre features a 25m main pool with a shallow end that can be changed in depth. Dedicated area for lane swimming is a regular feature and wristbands ensure a good amount of space to swim in. The kids pool features a play feature for smaller children with integral slides, and a larger slide for bigger children can be found at that end of the facility. Changing rooms are clean and dry. The staff have placed good Covid measures in place but they're not always adhered to by visitors. The cafe is what you'd expect from a swim centre cafe, with seating near a poolside window for parents to enjoy a coffee while the kids play, if that's your thing. Customers are encouraged to pre-book at the moment. All in all a great community swimming pool.
Thanks for the lovely review. We really appreciate you taking the time out to comment and share your experience.
Positive experience: Ok and not too expensive for a swim while visiting the area. Couldn't understand why the slide was only open for 20mins per hour. Glad we booked first slot of the day
thanks for the review. we are reviewing our slide availability
Fantastic experience: Took the family for a casual swim. Friendly staff, clean changing rooms and Swimming Pool. Wasn't overcrowded and had a good clear colour band guide to Swimmer's timings. The younger boys (aged 2 and 4) loved the pirate ship. Will hope to return in the future.
Thanks for the great review
