The new Better STAR Hub opened its doors in September 2016 and now proudly sits at the heart of the Splott, Tremorfa, Adamsdown and Roath communities. This state of the art facility includes a new swimming pool with completely accessible access for all users. Our spacious Health & Fitness Suite houses all new TechnoGym equipment including a Functional Fitness frame to allow for fun and challenging adaptation of traditional workouts. Of course, any Better facility would not be the same without our ever popular Group Fitness classes and a whole host of these activities are available every evening. Make sure that you come and see us or take a look at our interactive tour.

Fantastic experience: Clean pool but lanes quite small

Tania Moir 2 years ago

Positive experience: I use the pool regularly and after so many months going have gotten to know some of the staff a little and they're all great and accommodating. The pool itself is fine, it's not very deep (1.8M at it's deepest, which is in the middle of the pool, both ends are shallow) but you can get a good full swim in with its length.

John Rohman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loved it, especially the staff so friendly.

Liam Robinson 2 years ago

Positive experience: Staff greeted on entry as expected but then was only allowed to use 3 lanes with 2 or 3 people in it at once. So definitely need to ring ahead to see how busy it is. 2/3s of the pool was unused. No spectating area pool side. Don't stand there waiting for your child as you'll get told pretty quickly and pretty angrily. Is definitely a swim lesson center. Not for recreation or training at all. Could be better utilized.

LT.Ripley 27 3 years ago

Positive experience: So we book the Swim for All and it's half taken over by the swimming lessons that should of finished before the public swim. It forced about 30 people to have half the pool and 4 for the other half as they "paid for lessons". Then, if it could get more ridiculous, they throw out a teenage boy for splashing while the instructor was telling the "paid extra" adults to splash while kicking to swim. Are they basically saying if you pay for private you own the pool? They should be separate times and maybe it wouldn't force all the others to a small area clearly not big enough to enjoy. Trying to give a booster swim lesson to my own children and what space was there? We had about 10 ft for 5 people. Message received. Pay extra: do what you want. Pay for a fun swim: cramp into small space, don't splash, impossible to swim.
