Our comment from FitFit UK about Ellon Swimming Pool & Community Centre:

Ellon Swimming Pool & Community Centre is a fantastic facility located in Ellon, United Kingdom, offering a welcoming environment for families and individuals of all ages. The center features:

  • Excellent Facilities: A large swimming pool with abundant natural light and a separate training pool for children, allowing for enjoyable swimming experiences.
  • Hygiene Standards: Users praise the high cleanliness standards, maintaining a safe and pleasant atmosphere.
  • Family-Friendly Amenities: Spacious changing rooms designed for families, with toys available for children to enhance their swimming activity.
  • Helpful Staff: Many visitors have noted the friendly and supportive nature of the staff, always willing to assist with inquiries and provide a pleasant experience.

However, some users have pointed out areas for improvement, including:

  • Limited shower availability, with some showers reported as malfunctioning.
  • A wish for a café or vending options to be improved, particularly in terms of better snacks and beverages.
  • The pool temperature being on the cooler side, making it less ideal for very young children at times.
  • Occasional challenges with booking availability, particularly during peak times when the pool can become quite crowded.

Overall, despite minor issues, Ellon Swimming Pool & Community Centre remains a beloved local hub for swimming and community engagement, making it well worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: Clean good sized pool. Only downside is there aren't enough showers, and they are often faulty. Only small issue for a good swimming pool.

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

AbundaNatura Silvia Perez 2 years ago

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

Ciderman 3 years ago

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

Amy Ruxton 3 years ago

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.

J Wood 6 years ago

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.

Jan Campbell 6 years ago

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.

Lisa Mann 7 years ago

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. The community room has a secure play area outside when the sun's shining. In the likely event it's not then the room is really clean and new with lots of natural light.
