Negative experience: Pool was absolutely freezing. My son’s lips turned blue after being in for 5 minutes. We complained but not offered a refund even though we had to get out after 5 mins.

Negative experience: We went onto the website this morning and attended the swimming pool at the time the public swim started. We were told when we got there that the pool was closed for a private swim and this was on the website. We had two very sad and tearful children on leaving. We doubled checked the website and there was nothing on there that suggested that the pool was closed for private use. While we were there, there were other families also being sent away as they were also not aware that the pool was closed as the website said it was open to the public. Very disappointing.

Positive experience: Best swimming pool in Gwynedd for little ones. Very warm and clean pool with small steps in and out and a ramp too. Family changing room consisting of three small cubicles one with a changing table and a share shower. Lockers take 20p but are located in the ladies so it's a pain to take your stuff back and forth otherwise would have have 5*

Positive experience: Great place to take the kids swimming. There's a big pool and a small pool which is 0.6m at one end going to 0.9m so very shallow and safe. very attentive pool attendants/lifeguards. Very clean changing rooms with family rooms too. Water could do with being a tad warmer ;)

Positive experience: I normally use swimming facilities in a neighbouring county. This swimming pool area in Byw'n Iach Glaslyn was clean, decent drainage on the floor so no pools gathered (with toddlers, a boon) and the showers were nice and warm. The two pools are at different temperatures. The toddler one is slightly warmer. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We asked quite a few questions as we weren't familiar with the facilities and all questions were answered politely and directions given - even with the large queue. Da iawn pawb!

Fantastic experience: I havnt been to the Leisure centre for years, but I took Mum to Dementia go at the centre. I was surprised that the library is now located in the centre, I was surprised by the lovely cafe within the leisure centre. I was very pleased with the help and kindness shown to my mum and I from the caring staff. I felt very happy with my visit and I am looking forward to taking mum again. When I can, I will use the swimming pool and join in the many activities available.

Positive experience: I love the coffee area here. Lovely comfy sofas and chairs. Food is mainly snack food eg. sandwiches, backed potato with various fillings, quiche etc. I recommend the egg sandwiches and the stilton and broccoli quiche. Prices are not too bad, quiche and plain baked potato cost £6, more if you wanted salad and a filling. The tea is disappointing, weak and no taste. Also the seating area is not large and can get crowded in peak times, but a great place to meet friends or have a break after swimming etc

Fantastic experience: Very popular leasure center used by children and adults. Swimming pool and exercise equipment. Friendly staff on reception desk that also houses the entrance to the library. There is a posting box near the cafe for returning books if library is closed. Small cafe that opens at 10am. Limited light meals but good coffee. The cafe has sofas for comfort reading with a coffee but the cafe does get busy and noisy. Parking is free near the library but limited. The larger car park is fee payable.
