Anne Published on Google 1 year ago

Positive experience: Not much there in terms of machines and often the music is blasting and way too loud. Classes are in the same room as the gym. I would say it's basic and okay.

Negative experience: Will never go back....it was dirty disgusting....the floor was dirty grimey big clumps of hair all over the floor....makes my skin crawl thinking about it.....yuk..!!!!!!!

D Lee Published on Google 2 years ago

Negative experience: Clean swimming pool, but it is not fit for purpose. Tiny pool, overpriced tickets, cramming inside, unable to have a good swim, hardly any time for working people to swim in peace . Not even open Friday afternoon?? Normanton needs to build a bigger one with working-people friendly opening hours and reduced prices. Also need to have swimming classes in the afternoon for working people.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful team, facilities are very clean, only issue I had was lack of signage/information about where the lockers and showers as it was my first visit and has two yong children with me, but now I know the next visit will be a lot easier. The swimming lessons for kids are very well organised and instructors very knowledgeable and friendly.

Elle Renoir Published on Google 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The staff at the pool & gym are brilliant! They all take really good care of the place & are really helpful. So lucky to have this place on the doorstep. The pool is really clean & well organized. I have recently started at the gym & can't recommend their classes & their facilities enough. Excellent!

Pat Wood Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Always best staff!!

Anne R Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Best on Tuesday with little ones as it is warmer for the oldies fitness sessions...however, watch the time as you have to get out when it is changed to lane swimming...unless you can swim a length.

Stuart Cullingworth Published on Google 7 years ago

Brian Chapman Published on Google 7 years ago

Oscar Cadman Published on Google 7 years ago

Negative experience: Saw a naked man running around near my children

John Hoban Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Nice friendly place, just a pool.

David Davies Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I lived just round the corner to Castleford pool until in their wisdom they decided to close it. The manager managed it and Normanton pool jointly. A customer friendly man in every aspect of his job. So I and a few others thought we would try Normanton pool. Best decision we ever made. The manager runs a very accessible, clean pool with very helpful friendly staff who accepted us as strangers but within weeks felt part of a big family with the locals also very friendly. That was nearly two years ago and we have no intention of moving elsewhere. Thanks mainly to the Manager and his Staff.

Steve Beaumont Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Nice pool 3pm mondays is a good time to visit as the children have finished there class

Andrew Siddle Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Good pool but starting to feel a bit dated in comparison to Sun Lane. Swim tags are an hour out and seem to miss 1st 2 length

kerrie parry Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Son likes it staff always look bored and like they only just woke up

Asia Published on Google 7 years ago

Positive experience: Quite nice but busy

Mel Cook Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic for learning to swim and also public swimming, the staff and coaches are very helpful.

Paul Owen Published on Google 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: The pool is good, it is a simple swimming pool with family hours also on the timetable where they segregate half the pool and throw in lots of floats for the kids to play with. Attached to the pool is a gym which is fantastic and the best gym I've ever used. It's a modern affair, with very few of the typical sit-down training machines. Instead, it's all bags, balls and dumbbells with friendly staff who are happy to help and guide you how to achieve your goals. It's a no pressure gym, so pushy sales for personal sessions, just a modern and friendly place to keep fit. 5 stars.

Jax Egan Published on Google 7 years ago
