Fantastic experience: Watched grandaughters swimming lessons. Very well organised
Fantastic experience: Great facilities,staff a little lacklustre but I put that down to the young age. Sauna was out of use at the time I visited but other than that would recommend
Fantastic experience: A nice pool with a separate training pool for babies and juniors. Easy to book with LL app
Positive experience: Good fun with grandchildren, easy to book online and a number of toys / floats to help encourage the kids. Bit cold in the changing rooms.
Positive experience: First time I've been to the centre and first time I've been swiming in a while, it was crowded but felt I had plenty of space to get lengths in, sauna was a nice way to finish the hour also
Positive experience: Nice pool but crowded. I was used to go for swimming with my kid, but now it is very difficult to book a swimming session during the weekend and if you manage, it's crowded.
Negative experience: Swimming blocks not very good no backboard
Fantastic experience: Beautiful building. Visited when watching the grandchildren having swimming lessons. We were allowed to sit and watch inside for free. They had paper towels to dry off the seats if they were wet. I asked staff at the desk for information about swimming and fitness classes and they could not have been more helpful by giving me info and flyers. A good visit
Positive experience: Ended up paying more for what ended up being lane swimming than I should have, a price list on the website would be good! Pool and facilities were clean, with two young lifeguards manning the big pool and one on the small pool. The checking in process was easy, no names or details taken, just 2 attendees ticked off the list when we arrived at reception.
Positive experience: Website kinda finicky. Wish you could book ahead longer
Positive experience: The pool feels really good to swim lengths in! Big windows let a lot of light in. Although there is no diving pool.

Positive experience: It’s okay
Positive experience: The children's pool is not as warm as others. No chute. Staff friendly. Some good classes. The reception is very often busy especially if there are classes going in which often means quite a wait.
Fantastic experience: Had a knee replacement 18months ago and moved to Aberdeenshire in June, 2018. Part of my recovery has been swimming regularly nearly daily. Bought a monthly pass from Aberdeenshire Council, what great value. This is a community facility and children and staff from both Ellon and visiting schools have been really helpful and supportive. Especially pool staff and of course a special mention to the reception staff. Thank you.

Positive experience: Lovely big pool will definitely be going back
Fantastic experience: Great community room for parties, they also have sports halls as an option too if you have 30 or more guests this may be more suitable. The community room has its own parking toward the back of the school so keep driving as far as you can go for the easiest route in.
