Positive experience: Very nice indoor tennis courts. Easy to book, clean. Nice loos and facilities too
Negative experience: 14 pounds for a 50 min swim wirh kids. 90 percent of changing rooms just locked for no reason. Pool closed at 11am due to staff shortages.. Closed the slide after an hour.. Half the lights off.. Pointless waste of money.. Plus too many rules.
Fantastic experience: I love the swimming pool
Positive experience: Decent sized center especially for the area with lots of facilities. The leisure center is clean and its the same story for the changing village fir the pool.

Fantastic experience: Good swimming and tennis friendly staff.
Positive experience: Excellent facilities. Friendly staff
Fantastic experience: A very well organised Pantheon school event. A clean tidy pool.

Fantastic experience: Love the toddler splash but water for baby pool seems Bit cold.
Positive experience: This is a lovely clean accessible pool even for disabled people. The family changing area is great for my daughter and I. Always warm showers. You need £1 for the lockers which you get back. We hope to attend weekly for swimming. Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Felt good to be back in the pool after 2yrs of lock down. Staff very friendly and made my visit feel at ease.
Fantastic experience: Happy with our visit last week very strict and serious pool chap though I think he needs a night out with some friends
Fantastic experience: Kids enjoyed the swimming pool
Fantastic experience: 5/5 for epic nostalgia, only came for the pool lol
Positive experience: Good facilities and adequate parking. Only 4 stars though due to the fact you can't speak to a person to book anything. It all has to be done via their website. This is not suitable for everyone and if you want a one off visit, I can imagine, having been on the website going elsewhere.
Fantastic experience: Clean friendly,safe environment. Great place to learn to swim
Fantastic experience: Nice people
Positive experience: Good swimming pool with well spaced lanes. AstroTurf is outdated and needs upgrading.

Fantastic experience: Well organised, clean. Great swimming lessons.
Fantastic experience: Swimming lessons are back on and going well, good flow and social distancing Covid wise
Positive experience: Staff are very good and the system at the Bodmin centre works well. However, it's a nightmare trying to use Better's app. I also think, if it wants to get people back into its centres, which it does, it needs to make booking much, much easier, including being able to do it in other ways than on a mobile phone app which excludes hundreds of people.
Fantastic experience: Great place for kids swimming lessons.
Positive experience: Amazing staff always so friendly. Very clean gym as welk
Fantastic experience: Spotless
Positive experience: Was there for a swim competition didn't think highly of facilities

Fantastic experience: Good facilities here.
Negative experience: After visiting nearly everyday since this time last year, my membership was cancelled for no reason. When I asked for this to be resolved, they informed me I'd have to pay a joining fee again! The manager would not waive the fee and was incredibly rude. Awful customer service considering I've been such a loyal customer and have always recommended Bodmin until now!
Fantastic experience: Good swimming pool!
Fantastic experience: The staff here are helpful. It has alsorts going on here, gym is clean, the pool is clean. Can't ask for much more from a leisure centre.
Positive experience: I play hockey at Bodmin Leisure Centre so I don't really have much opinion about the gym and other facilities. However I have looked into them and the gym looks very modern and the tennis courts are inside and outside; perfect for all weathers. Other facilities consist of a swimming pool, that is used for galas and classes, as well as squash courts.
Fantastic experience: Great day out very pleasant indeed
Positive experience: It has the facility that I wanted and boys loves swimming here
Fantastic experience: Great staff
Negative experience: Accused of blocking up slide during Aqua Splash (Fridays) although it was down to some boy who looked around 8 stopping himself in the slide. To be honest after the lifeguards accused us of this we tried to explain politely what had happened what lead to us somehow being banned from the slide. This gave us a very negative view on the place since and we didn’t have much fun afterwards.
Fantastic experience: Lots to do here which is great for kids, Swimming included. Great amount of space. Free parking.
Fantastic experience: Here for the intotri event, great venue
Fantastic experience: Helpful just need to know one thing if we could pay to play on the football pitch

Positive experience: Good facilities.
Fantastic experience: Good leisure centre. Easg to visit.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for many years, and I've always found the staff to be very helpful to me as I am visually impaired and need assistance when using the facilities. I would recommend this place to everybody especially for children as it's a great place to come if you just want to have a swim and a good time! the slide is especially good, very exciting again for young children,also the gym is very good, so if you just want to have a workout and don't fancy swim there is an option for you as well.
Fantastic experience: Many classes to chose from a and the staff are always happy to help or give advice .
Fantastic experience: Love to go here always like soft play for little ones on a Wednesday
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place. Good prices, and very smart, clean, and approachable staff.
Positive experience: The thing i like about the dragon centre is that there are things for all ages. I do like places that think about everyone so i am not going to rant about that like in my other reviews. However there is not many people that I know that can afford to go to any of the sessions or lessons. So maybe you could think about the prices a bit more. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: The best.
Positive experience: If you don't mind the staff canoodling with each other while customers wait to be served you will be fine lol
Negative experience: Horride, horrid, horrid company!! I have emails from this company threatening me if I don’t provide documents which they were already given!! I used their online call back service but they never called!!! I re-submitted documents but the birth certicates were rejected!!! Swimming they put stupid rules and restrictions leaving very little for me and the kids to do in the pool.. plus they charge a small fortune!! Plus plus you are so restricted on when you can do a public swim due to them using the WHOLE pool for swimming lessons! Clever company buy all swimming company’s out so you have no choice but to go with them
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service by the young lad working reception this evening (24/1/19) Enjoyed visiting your pool, thanks
Positive experience: My first aquafit session, loved it. Wonderfully warm pool. Although since June the water is slightly cooler, although it doesn't notice when you are doing the aquafit!
