Hadleigh Pool & Leisure: Opinions

4.1/5 (82 Opinions)
Jamie Potts 10 months ago

Positive experience: Only have experience taking my kids swimming (lessons). No separate viewing gallery, so have to be within pool area to watch (which is fine), but as a mobility scooter user, cannot take this down as no shoes or socks allowed (cleanliness), so have to struggle down slippery ramp on walking sticks. They do have a self contained wheelchair available which I have not tried yet. This IS allowed into the pool area.

Chris Lillico 2 years ago

Negative experience: Tried using the gym here but it was a no go from the start. The only place i've ever came across that to get a day pass you first need to book an instructor to show you the equipment and then gauging by the appointment info on their membership site you also need 2 instructor led courses when signing up to use the gym to make sure you're using the equipment correctly? Oh, and theres no instructors available for the next week as their online calendar has been blocked out. So unfortunately i cant review what the gym is actually like as i never made it through the front door.

Morgan Page 2 years ago

Positive experience: Good temperature of the pool. Would of been 4 stars but Only 1 Hair dryer working, so you have to wait 20 minutes til it's free and no private shower cubicles to use!

Oludamilola Bastos 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this pool. Great community feel about it. The depth works out well for my kid, a good 10 metres before it gets deeper. Changing rooms always clean when I attend. Open quite early as well.

Joff Hopkins 2 years ago

Positive experience: A clean and often quiet place to bring the kids swimming. The floats and inflatable assault courses are good fun and terrific value. Male changing rooms only have four changing cubicles and one curtained shower, so expect to wait if you want complete privacy.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place great swimming lessons

Chris Hone 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place to bring kids and let them enjoy themselves in the water. Also recently discovered that they run a backgammon club on A Friday evening from 7pm. All levels of players are welcome

Dan Ellis 3 years ago

Negative experience: Good modern facilities and fantastic swimming tutors. A real shame the young male life guard has more interest in staring at the ceiling and talking to his colleagues that watching out for the safety of learner swimmers.

Josh Harrop (The Dapper Ninja) 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I only use the gym there at the moment but I think the facilities are very good and I can do exercises fine there.

Rob W 4 years ago

Positive experience: Water is so cold!

Apostolos Fournaris 4 years ago

Negative experience: Someone who is more serious or a competitive swimmer would not find this facility training friendly. No fins and other training equipment is allowed, even when the pool is empty. Also, very slow breastrokers will be allowed in the fast lane almost every day. Finally, eventhough covid measures have been lifted the pool management chose to keep a now ludicrous covid imposed 30 minute gap between each session. If you are a leisure swimmer and/or don't mind all the above, it is an excellent and newly renovated facility.

123tr7 7 years ago

Negative experience: Is a good gym and pool but not worth the monthly price as they have limited facilities compared to other gyms and not a very welcoming atmosphere in the upstairs gym.

Frazer Jamieson 7 years ago

Positive experience: Friendly staff, but needs a huge amount of modernisation in order for it to be clean and presentable

Cupid Stunt 7 years ago

Positive experience: Good price for the inflatables session. I personally found the water cold but the kids don't mind, so I sit out and watch these days. A couple of the female life guards are rather rude to say the least but that's made up by the lads, pool manager and the blonde receptionist.

Florence 8 years ago

Positive experience: Nice gym, but the pool is very old and quite grotty. I hope sometime in the future they'll do it up.

Monica Gibbs 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great

Alex Gibson 8 years ago

Positive experience: I really like this little gym. Although space is at a premium, it is fully stocked with the latest equipment such as TRX straps, Vibroplate and a Krankcycle. The reception area is clean and modern, making it a great place to meet up for a coffee and a chat after your workout. Even the coffee is surprisingly good for the little place. The only thing that taints the experience for me is the sweaty small of the soft furnishings. Time to have these cleaned of swapped for wipe clean fabric I think!

Dan Mudge 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: New pool is good for younger swimmers as it starts off quick shallow and gradually deepens to 2m
