Our comment from FitFit UK about Kilkeel Leisure Centre:

Kilkeel Leisure Centre offers a variety of facilities to cater to the needs of the community. Visitors have appreciated the friendly and helpful staff, who are always ready to assist guests with a positive attitude. The cleanliness of the center is often highlighted, with many noting that the swimming pool and changing rooms are well-maintained.

Various activities available include swimming, sauna, and a gym, providing options for guests of all ages. The centre is especially praised for its children-friendly environment, with a shallow pool for younger swimmers and a health suite for adults looking to relax. Many guests have expressed their appreciation for the good facilities and the overall experience.

However, some users have noted issues such as the temperature of the pool water being cold for babies and the need for maintenance in certain areas, like changing rooms and locker conditions. Despite this, the positive feedback about the staff and cleanliness tends to outweigh the negative aspects, making Kilkeel Leisure Centre a commendable place for recreation.

Fantastic experience: Went here in recommendation from my brother, as Newry Pool is closed AGAIN. Took my 18 month old by myself for her first swim. The staff were wonderful, especially Niamh, who helped me with great safety advice. The building is showing signs of it's age, but it was spotlessly clean and a very safe environment for babies. I didn't get to use the steam room this time, but I'll definitely be back. The receptionist was lovely too.

Negative experience: Lovely receptionist. We weren’t informed North Korea’s border police were being trained in this facility so if you have any notion of an enjoyable experience you’ll soon be whistled at and told where to go

Jack Cleland 2 years ago

Negative experience: This place didn’t let us jump in, my freind Oliver was very sad and cried when the mean took his friends goggles. The woman who told my large freind David to get out of the hot tub was having to much fun on her walky talky, she had more fun than all of the people I went with

Ben Andrews 2 years ago

Negative experience: I am absolutely disgusted with this swimming pool - they are dead craic. If u want ur child to have a bad time go to this pool. They don’t let you jump in or have any fun. Do not go to this swimming pool it is awful

Negative experience: Absolute Disgrace, came with a youth group and they may as well have got screamed at for smiling in the pool, one lady claimed we were unable to use any of the health suites despite having paid for their use and then further claimed we hadn’t even covered all of the campers payments. A complete Joke!!!!! The only saving grace of this place is the receptionist who could not have been nicer, despite the rest of the staff acting like spoilt brats.

Andy Mcgarvey 4 years ago

Positive experience: Pool was a bit disappointing only 1m deep, pool is a bit cold for young babies. Changing rooms are ok however they are looking very "tired" lockers were I poor condition, doors drooping and a lot of them broken. However staff in the place were great they were friendly and helpful and the Life guards were alert and keeping watch constantly and the facilities were clean and tidy, I think the Newry, Mourne and Down council need to give this place a revamp
