Learning how to swim is not just a valuable life-saving skill. Whether you live near the coast or not, swimming offers numerous benefits that extend beyond leisure. Equipping oneself with swimming abilities can instill confidence and reduce the fear of water, making it safer to enjoy aquatic activities.
Swimming is an inclusive, social activity that fosters connections with other local people of all ages and abilities. Joining swimming lessons offers a chance to meet new people, build teamwork skills, and compete in a friendly environment.
Learning how to swim is a valuable investment in one’s safety, health, and overall well-being. It offers a fun and effective way to stay active, gain confidence, and connect with others. So, whether you’re a child or an adult, it’s never too late to dive in and embrace the many benefits of swimming.
The pool is split halfway, with half of the pool available for lane swimming and half the pool open for all ages abilities and aquatic activities. Inflatables not permitted, but swim aids are more than welcome.
LED’s Fun Splash sessions do exactly what they say on the tin! Insane inflatable madness, floats and swimming toys galore – it’s the best way to make swimming unbelievable fun! 8+ on the inflatable.
If you are already swimming laps of the pool but want to train for a specific event such as a triathlon, or build fitness, then our coached SwimFit sessions will be the better fit for you.
LED’s aqua classes offer a cardio and conditioning, pool based workout that gets your muscles working against the resistance of the water – elevating the heart rate and burning those calories. We also run parent and baby aquafit (Exmouth only) suitable for parents to bring their little ones along to!

LED Exmouth Leisure Centre: Opinions
Negative experience: Took my 11week old baby , never again … pool absolutely freezing. Got out after 5minutes. Emailed as to whether this is the normal temperature, no response
Positive experience: Якби була сауна і більш зручний додаток для смартфону - взагалі б було супер.
Fantastic experience: The LED Exmouth Leisure is a great venue for your all your fitness needs. Whether you choose to use the gym, pool or join a fitness class. All the staff are very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. A good way to meet new friends. They do a great coffee, too.
Fantastic experience: We love going swimming here as it's always clean and tidy and warm. Great children's shallow pool for learning to swim and play. My daughter enjoys the slide!
Negative experience: Expensive for a non member single session. Crowded and simply not enough equipment to accommodate everyone... never going there again!
Negative experience: Absolutely, terrible service.
Negative experience: Most of the staff are rude and very unwelcoming especially the women. This place is not mentally ill friendly. I made complaint and call them out on their cold behaviour, still didn't have a care in the world. There is still a stigma of mental health, that's why I cancelled my gym membership.
Negative experience: Good swimming pool. Gym badly equipped when it comes to weights (only one set of each dumbbell) and would really like to see this changed.
Fantastic experience: Great place to visit especially the wellness hub and the gym. Great experience not only for physical but psychological mental wellbeing being. Great fun
Negative experience: Dirty changing rooms, we visit this pool every other day and it looks like no one is cleaning the changing rooms. Hair everywhere, broken dryer for months, mould in every shower…
Fantastic experience: Great pool facilities. Regularly take my daughter on a Sunday. Changing rooms are always in good order and staff are polite and attentive. Great value, too!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic view from treadmills overlooking the Estuary, birds and general activity. Pool good temperature.
Fantastic experience: Really Impressed. Very clean and well run, fabulous staff. Great pool and well appointed changing/shower areas.
Fantastic experience: Children loved the swimming lessons.
Positive experience: Ok, for general fitness, chest press doesn't provide full movement, dumbells only upto 42kg, bench press only 3 start points, not fully adjustable. If you enjoy classes, there are lots to choose from and a swimming pool and small climbing wall.
Fantastic experience: I use the LED in Exmouth for the swimming pool (so can’t comment on the gym as haven’t used these facilities). I started using the pool for the Aquanatal classes when I was pregnant which were super fun! Since having a baby, we now attend the Tuesday Discovery Ducklings class and love it. Classes are super engaging and the instructors are so good with babies - it’s such good value for the class as well at £6.80 per session. There’s good changing facilities for babies & children and a buggy park which is really hand. The lifeguards & reception staff are warm & friendly. We love it!
Positive experience: Good facilities and helpful staff
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff upon entry and we did the wall climbing and the young man that took our session was very patient and took the time with all the children in the session. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Good little gym and you can pay for single sessions too. Ideal if you need a quick sesh, and it's right by the train station.
Fantastic experience: Buetiful day out had a walk on front and went in and out the shops
Negative experience: So disappointed with swimming on Thursday lessons at 5.15 slot there was 8 swimmers that is too much for little space and the swimming teacher is so poorly organised she let swimmers swim in the same time and there is no space to swim because so many people and that was so chaos! Normally, they will take in turn in two groups to swim if there is too many swimmers.
Positive experience: The gym is great but needs more of a weight area rather than cardio, Badminton areas are great but could do with one or more areas as can never book a badminton time around the time we need which interfers with the rest of our day for our autistic people we support. The pool is far too cold. So we don't use that anymore, I have friends who won't even take their children in there because after 15mins their faces and lips are blue. The baby pool is just as bad as the main pool. Apart from that the staff are lovely and it's all kept very clean.
Fantastic experience: I've been really impressed with the swimming lessons for my eldest - instructors in the pool with the children and learning water confidence really quickly.
Positive experience: Well kitted gym with a great view
Fantastic experience: The LED Exmouth Leisure Centre, with its modern facilities and vibrant atmosphere, provided an exhilarating escape. Diligent staff catered to every need, while the invigorating activities transported one's senses to a realm of energetic delight. A remarkable establishment deserving of resounding applause.
Fantastic experience: Lubię ten basen
Fantastic experience: We go for swimming lessons. Very good teachers there.
Positive experience: Nice place to relax
Fantastic experience: Pool nice and warm, changing rooms clean and tidy, lovely showers. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Cool swimming pool. Very clean and pleasant
Positive experience: Present centre. Shame the small pool not open so had to take our little one in main pool
Negative experience: The pool is actually quite nice, not too chlorinated. The gym is poor on equipment and far too busy but ok if you do not go in with a set idea if which equipment you need. However , despite some lovely staff, there are some very misleading staff who will insist you need a direct debit(online and in person). However temporary weekly and monthly memberships exist! The receptionist have a laminated price list behind the desk(after several months I discovered this). This meant ai had to pay for individual weeks /trials at different clubs and travel into Exeter when I could have done a month.
Fantastic experience: Good Club
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and friendly service
Positive experience: Lovely, clean pool, friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Good swim
Hi Barney Hyndman, Thank you for the 5 stars and hope to see you at the Centre again soon
Fantastic experience: Hired the pool, food and function room today for a large group of children with vision impairment and other disabilities. The centre is lovely - great pool, very clean, good atmosphere. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Everyone had such a good time. Thank you.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and glad you all had a great time. We look forward to welcoming you again soon.
Negative experience: Badly let down this evening, been playing with a badminton group for 20+ years at LED on a Monday evening but because the manager couldn't fill us in even though already prebooked lost our courts tonight! Obviously no care customer satisfaction
Fantastic experience: Nice medium sized gym, decent selection of machines, can be pretty busy during peak hours but otherwise good
Thank you Jonathon!
Positive experience: The L.E.D Centre in Exmouth is a great place to train. Just back to it after a knee injury 6 weeks ago. Very helpful staff and felt comfortable there despite being 75 .
Fantastic experience: Sporty
Fantastic experience: Recently joined the gym. Helpful staff got me set up with a routine and followed it up with a review. It can get very busy but it has a good atmosphere and people accommodate each other.
Hi Tim, Thank you for your fantastic review and so glad you are enjoying your experience. Enjoy your gym journey at LED!
Negative experience: The pool is freezing especially for little ones
Fantastic experience: Super clean and tidy, helpful staff, a pleasure to be there using the facilities.
Negative experience: Poor. Cancelled 4 years ago membership told no charges as the gym was shut without warning on 3 occasions. Went to start a new membership after 4 years told had to pay outstanding charge, poor set up
Fantastic experience: I would be lost without this facility in Exmouth. Recently added a cafe.
Positive experience: Very slow Internet sire and useless App
Positive experience: The leisure centre itself is good. The learning pool is well suited to little kids. Showers are bracingly freezing. The only toilets available in the changing area are disabled. There is a good range of activities.
Fantastic experience: Inflatable fun was good for kids and fairly priced.
Positive experience: Excellent facilities and range of classes, membership is very reasonable especially as it also includes limited use of the public tennis courts.
Hi David Wreathall, Thank you for your lovely review. We are proud about the range of classes we offer and glad you like them. Thanks again and hope to see you back soon.
Fantastic experience: What an incredible leisure centre we are blessed with, the sessions they offer are really good and there is such a variety of things to do here the vert-exe climbing is brilliant pool is lovely and the gym is very good. They do lots for children and it is a great venue for kids parties.
Hi Amy Phillips, What a fantastic review and we are so glad you love the facilities. The Vert-Exe climbing wall is awesome and the kids love it as so many different walls to choose from. Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you again soon.
Positive experience: Love the climbing wall and the instructor was brilliant. However the fact that you can’t pay with cash is ridiculous. Why are companies dictating how we use our money and trying to make us a cashless society!
Hi Angela Owens, Thank you for your feedback. We are currently reviewing our policy regarding cash. During the pandemic we changed our policy regarding cash handling and we are constantly reviewing our policies and procedures. Your feedback has been passed on and will help with the review process with the team. Thank You
Fantastic experience: Lovely and clean, well spaced. I'm not a good swimmer and felt well looked after by the lifeguards.
Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly and has a lot of activities to do.
Fantastic experience: Great place to take the kids swimming. Clean changing rooms. And great staff
Thank you so much for your kind words Kirstie!
Fantastic experience: Joined as a swim only member. Facilities good esp for disabled swimmers. Booking on app is an option. Staff very friendly
Positive experience: I take our toddler swimming there throughout the winter. Pricey is the first word that comes into mind, £ 8,50 for 45 min in the learners pool for an adult and one 3 year old. The water is cold in the morning, afternoon is better but busier.
Positive experience: Very pleased!! I brought my children for the fun splash after a very disappointing visit to wave Torquay! The inflatable was very enjoyable and the children clearly loved it and the floats were very floaty!!! The showers were kind of cold and they didn’t have a vending machine which was a small disappointment due to my toddler being hungry! my 2 toddlers had a great time learning to swim In the shallow pool with me whilst my teenage daughter enjoyed the inflatables with a smile on her face!! Would deffo come again!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff
Fantastic experience: Great place for a swim with the children. Staff are very friendly and online booking is easy.
Fantastic experience: Daughter had her birthday party on the climbing wall, instructor was great with the kids, and kept them going the whole time.
Fantastic experience: You have to try the VertExe climbing at LED Exmouth, absolutely brilliant for kids (adults can join in with their kids too). Kids love it and tire them out for the day too.
Positive experience: Only went for flu and booster jab
Positive experience: Very good visit.
Fantastic experience: I had my booster in the leisure centre very well organised
Fantastic experience: Great pool, very sanitary! And in the past the GYM has always been GREAT!!
Fantastic experience: Went for my COVID booster jab. Very well organised and seamless operation.
Fantastic experience: Went for covid booster....well organised and very slick.
Positive experience: The gym is quite old fashioned and has little space for floor work and functional movement work . Thankfully is was very quiet and I was able to use the limited floor space for 45 minutes .
Positive experience: Had a covid booster and flue jabs here and well organised
Fantastic experience: Went to get our booster jabs this morning at LED. I was able to access and get my jab sitting on my mobility scooter. Plenty of room and all the stewards, admin. and vacinators were so cheerful and helpful. Excellent organisation, no delays and with easy access. We parked in adjoining carpark. Were able to use a disabled bay and it only cost £1 for an hour ... we had time to cut through to the Strand and enjoy a coffee afterwards overlooking the war memorial and some young service cadet volunteers selling poppies ... inspiring
Positive experience: We held my grandsons birthday here Clip and Climb. Also hired a room for a party and brought our own food. Great instructor and a great venue. Clean,plenty of toilets and parking next to venue. Party on a budget, give the leisure Centre a call.
Fantastic experience: After these two bad boys this morning at the LED Exmouth leisure centre I felt as high as a kite
Fantastic experience: We booked the shallow pool for my Grandchildren. The staff and facilities were great. Plenty of lifeguards as well as slides and equipment. Showers very good too and cubicles available.
Fantastic experience: Just had a covid booster. Well organised brilliant people.
Fantastic experience: Good
Fantastic experience: Great freindly place and good value if you use the classes and all the sports facilities as well as the well equipped gym.
Fantastic experience: A fantastic centre with so much to do.
Fantastic experience: Nice swimming pool
Positive experience: Great opening times and lots if classes
Positive experience: This is a multi purpose building with a gym and pool. I only went to the pool for swim. Lovely clean facilities, friendly staff and covid safe with only a limited people allowed at only 1 time. Would definitely revisit
Fantastic experience: Excellent facility and friendly staff. A great place for the community and Exmouth swimming club and brilliant.
Negative experience: Money grabbers!! Kids get nothing for their membership.... Even the fun swim has been taken out of the deal. Outrageous. So much for promoting health and wellbeing in children
Hi Rachel, we are sorry to hear your feedback about the removal of FunSplash from the junior membership. Please note, the membership still includes Swim England affiliated swimming lesson programme (one lesson per week), termly badges and certificates and casual swimming at public swimming times. Swimmers will have a guaranteed space in our lessons and have access to our ‘HomeHub’ providing updates on swimmer progress and achievements.
Fantastic experience: Really nice, helpful and friendly members of the staff . I'm doing my recovery here after an injury so have been using the gym and the pool and couldn't be any happier . Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic facilities; gym over looking estuary, full class timetable, great pool... even a climbing wall! Very clean centre with incredibly friendly, supportive and professional team
Negative experience: Very small pool.Couldnt enjoy it as needed to keep swimming around
Negative experience: Booked to use learner pool with grandchildren. Showers cold as they had a problem, pool chilly, a lot of sand was visible in pool. This is probably because no one is showering before using pool due to covid restrictions. Hand sanitisers and liquid soap empty in changing rooms. Very disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Great pool and rock climbing wall
Negative experience: The swimming part of it was great but as soon as you go in to talk to the receptionists they're quite rude, it was my first time going and I felt like I was being told off. I dont think we'll be coming again. The water wasn't warm enough for my 8 month old, his lips started to go blue even though we were in the children's learning pool. I thought it would have been warmer especially when there's only 8 people allowed at a time and that includes babies/children.
Hi Yvonne, we are so sorry to hear that your experience at our centre was not up to our high standards. I have passed this feedback on to centre manager Richard who will feedback to teams and be in touch with you shortly. Barnaby
Fantastic experience: Just had gym induction with Jo. 5* can't wait to get in and burn some calories.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities
Negative experience: Toddler pool could be a little warmer. Less expensive and maybe upgrade the pool to something better
Fantastic experience: Fun
Fantastic experience: Really good considering our climate, its nice to get healthy and feel safe.
Positive experience: The staff are being really helpful during covid. Nice pool if aa little dark. Changing rooms are nice with heated floor. Shop sells everything you need so if you do forget anything you will be OK.
Fantastic experience: Went swimming, very well organised
Fantastic experience: Great swimming pool for kids and the fun swim with the inflatable is great.
Thank you Simon for the fantastic feedback. We hope to see you again soon for more fun with the family.
Fantastic experience: Clean, love the refurb in changing rooms,
Thanks Sonia for your lovely review.
Positive experience: Went swimming in pool with my grandaughter, the water was a little cool for a 3 year old, but we had a lot of fun all the same, the showers were ok
Negative experience: Awesome pool, amazing clean changing rooms but a major let down as the showers were either broken or freezing cold. Changed the experience completely and we couldn’t shower.
Hi Rebecca, Thank you for the positive comments regarding the pool and changing room cleanliness. Sincere apologies regarding the shower fault. Unfortunately we had an issue over the Christmas period, which resulted in losing the hot water circulation to the showers. Thankfully they are back up and running again at their expected temperature. We hope to see you again soon Marcus Allen General Manager
