Fantastic experience: Love my regular swims here.

Richard Wilson 1 year ago

Negative experience: This is only a review of the climbing wall and not the overall facilities. I bought two climbing wall experience's in December for a Xmas present. Spoke to the sports centre about booking a session and was told they would put me on a WhatsApp chat asking when the climbers instructors would be free. I never got a reply over 7 months. I made contact at least three times. Finally asked for my money back.

Damon Brown 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This is a great, local sports centre. As an occasional user of the swimming pool when visiting the Isle of Wight, this is a great venue. Centrally located in the heart of Freshwater with ample parking onsite and nearby. The staff are friendly and helpful. Booking a swim slot is straightforward. Changing rooms are clean and tidy. The pool itself is excellent - 25 metres long and 3 metres deep at the deep end. Also the water isn't over chlorinated like some pools so you don't have that 'swimming in a bath of bleach' experience. Haven't had an experience of the community centre aspects of the centre but there's a lot on offer. Looking forward to visiting again.

Fantastic experience: Honestly to my mind this is the best swimming pool I have been in, in the UK. Great temperature of the water, not too busy, plenty of lanes for swimming, excellent price. The one and only thing I would change are the changing room curtains for doors . I live on the mainland but try to visit this pool when I am over as my local pools are no where near as good.

Honeybourne Jewellery 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our son celebrated his 8th birthday party here. We chose the pool option with food included. From the start, the staff were amazingly helpful. We had the pool for an hour completely to ourselves (there were 17 boys) with the floats & matts & they had a blast (the boys as well as the 8 adults that joined them!). The food was great, perfect kids party sandwiches (the fruit kebabs were a winner) with ice lollies to follow. We had 2 vegan kids in our group & they were really well catered for with no extra hassle. When I started to tidy up when the kids were leaving, the staff rushed out & said that they’d do it (& I quote) “leave it to us, that’s what we’re here for” The overall price was very reasonable for the service, venue & food, I couldn’t recommend them enough. I saw that they do other themed party’s, we’ll definitely be back at it was the least stressful & most reasonable party that we’ve hosted so far.. Thank you team, our son loved his party.

Hi Dolly. Could you let me know what day you went please? This is an unusual complaint - we're usually complimented on the cleanliness of the changing rooms. Although we have to accept that they are dated we do aim to keep very high standards of hygiene. If you could let us know when this happened then we can track it back and establish what went wrong for you on your visit. Send an email to the Centre Manager [email protected] if you are able
