Fantastic experience: Clean was quiet nice to have a swim here

Positive experience: Good pool, small gym, sauna but no steam room

Fantastic experience: Very clean staff always helpful and polite

Positive experience: Good size leisure centre, there's a pool, large car park and i believe parking is free. I have not used the gym so I can't comment on its standard. But the staff are friendly. Swing park at the side and a concrete basketball play area st the back.

Fantastic experience: 5 star service delivered by Olivia at Pencoed Halo. Really appreciate her going the extra mile to help us

Fantastic experience: Great place for children's swimming lessons.

Positive experience: Lovely friendly and helpful staff. Whole place in need of investment and updating

Positive experience: Lovely pool but far too hot upstairs to watch family swim

Negative experience: Massivly in need of a make over..changing rooms have seen better days with ceiling tiles missing.

Positive experience: A typical halo leisure facility good free car park

Fantastic experience: Where I learnt to swim as a kid and now home to the best swimming club in the world Bridgend Swim Club BSC

Positive experience: Pool area was good & staff wonderful but changing rooms are grotty & desperate for a revamp

Fantastic experience: Great facility

Positive experience: Having swimming lessons here and the instructors are great, the pool temperature seems a bit variable though but always warm enough.

Positive experience: Nice sized pool and gym. Big viewing area for the pool.

Fantastic experience: Great price. Lovely water. Not too busy. Good temperature. Helpful staff. Look forward to swimming here.

Fantastic experience: Clean & staff are very polite

Negative experience: The swimming lesson instructor had a poor attitude and complete lack of sensitivity when dealing with my child. Learning should be fun. Making a child feel like a failure in front of their peers is very bad teaching. My son left in floods of tears.

Fantastic experience: Lovely pool nice temperature, friendly atmosphere.

Positive experience: Bit cold 3 year old daughter wanted to leave we stayed for about 30 minutes.The young man with the moustache was very helpful offered us swim items to entertain her but then swapped with a young blonde lady who wasn't happy people was using the swimming items on the side of the pool.So we put ours back and left.

Positive experience: Here for Swimming lessons

Positive experience: Good swimming and sauna facilities, however would benefit from changing rooms with doors / curtains. Edit: Curtains now added - thank you!

Positive experience: Showing a little bit of wear-and-tear, but the building as a whole is in a good shape and it's clean and tidy in the showers and changing rooms. Toilets could see some more love on the Men's side at least. Water temperature has been consistent. A touch on the cool side but not cold, and pleasant when swimming. Once you're in you don't feel it. Overall quite nice.

Positive experience: Pool was fine but the water in the showers was switched off.

Positive experience: Great little pool, shame the building lacks,a large investment need, to modernise building and pool, shame really, what with all lottery sports grants and investment, that only thing upgraded is a QR code logging system, gym need better equipment other then hand me down from the Halo group, tho adequate for a swim if nothing else

Positive experience: Good swimming pool but sometimes dirty

Positive experience: First visit. Too early to comment

Negative experience: If you want to go for a family swim, I'd look somewhere else. Changing rooms aren't unisex which meant it was nearly impossible to change my two young boys and myself(youngest 9 months).Facilities haven't changed in 20 years. Water really cold.

Fantastic experience: Amaze and fun place

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed it thoroughly and the staff we're very polite.

Fantastic experience: Staff here are fantastic. They are friendly and go out of their way to make the customers journey as pleasent as possible. Facilities are clean and looked after.

Positive experience: Well organised for everyone to be safe

Positive experience: Nice pool, is a shame with covid that the showers are closed as it's always nice to know People shower before getting into the pool for hygiene. Also need a better plan for the reception. I had 2 points of contact with them and both times I had to stand around waiting whilst the team member was on the phone to another customer. At one point there was 4 people stood waiting. Not his fault as he was doing his job, but maybe they need a plan for calling customers back when there are face to face customers waiting, or have a different team never responsible for the phones. Either way, it's a nice 3-lane 25m pool. And on my visit there were 3 people to each lane, which felt comfortable. I'd would definitely revisit.

Fantastic experience: My second best pool

Fantastic experience: Very pleased to be back!!!! Very impressed with the way the staff guided us through the new procedure. The pool was well spaced out, the changing facilities were clean and well marked to know exactly where you needed to go. All went very smoothly.

Fantastic experience: Myself and my daughter have swimming lessons here. It's always easy to park and no pay&display like the one in Bridgend town. I've always found the lessons to be good fun and I've gone from a non swimmer to swimmer in a short amount of time!

Fantastic experience: Ok clean

Positive experience: This is a lovely swimming pool but the lockers do need some attention most of them you cannot use

Negative experience: The venue is in serious need of renovating, chipped paint, old uncomfortable seating, damaged and damp ceilings. The staff were perfectly friendly however.

Positive experience: Good place for lane swimming but in need of an update

Fantastic experience: The staff here are so friendly. It's a lovely pool to swim in.

Fantastic experience: A very clean and nice swimming pool

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff parking can sometimes be a problem for disabled as anyone parks in the spaces provided

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! The staff are amazing, the changing rooms are so clean, always 2 lifeguards on wach, great gym. Whenever I go their I always see all these things. However, if I could change it, I'd have doors in the changing rooms insted of curtains because I was getting dry once but a Yong girl slammed open my curtain when I was naked because she thorght it was her friend... but other than that, I love it.

Fantastic experience: Great pool, lovely staff.

Fantastic experience: Good staff who are always helpful. Clean pool and good size. Kids lessons are amazing!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding instructor's and it is nice to go to with your friends when lessons are over and enjoy a relaxing swim

Positive experience: It's nice, the gym is a tad small but it's ok, the locker/changing rooms need a dry area for anyone who uses the gym and not the pool to save our clothes getting wet but it's nice anyway.

Positive experience: Nice Pool for Pencoed

Fantastic experience: Clean and tidy place to have a dip.

Fantastic experience: Good morning swimming not too much noise nice small pool

Positive experience: Nice little swimming pool

Fantastic experience: Such a great place to host party's and for just a casual swim would really love to recommend this

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean staff okay easy to get to

Positive experience: It has a proper deep end, not for fun/children, no child pool. Its more of a exercise pool here.

Fantastic experience: Clean and friendly.

Positive experience: A really useful asset to the community.

Positive experience: Really good. Just wish there was more weight bearing machines.

Positive experience: Very friendly staff! Small pool but good for a local swim

Fantastic experience: Really good.

Fantastic experience: Amazing love the gym and swimming

Fantastic experience: Good clean facilities and very friendly staff

Positive experience: Friendly staff, good pool and gym even though the gym is small, only thing is that the bottom of the pool could be a little cleaner

Fantastic experience: Nice quiet gym with basic equipment but enough for a decent workout if it's not too busy. 25 metre main pool with separate changing areas and also a sauna with an area to relax.

Positive experience: Needs a bit of love and a good clean. Pool is OK, staff are friendlier than Bridgend

Negative experience: Changing rooms and shower facilities need updating

Negative experience: Very good

Positive experience: Great opening hours, staff are really helpful, just a shame there are no family changing rooms. Still, we went to its twin in Pyle (Twilight Zone moment) this week and Pencoed seems to be ageing slightly better. Come on Bridgend, freshen them up!

Fantastic experience: Friendly Staff.

Positive experience: Very friendly, informative staff. Never used pool but husband uses gym, small but adequate, sauna good too. Exercise classes very good on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, no air conditioning, sometimes held outside. Both instructors Lisa and Melanie are excellent at their job plus Chris and Catz are very good at filling in if instructor are away. Would recommend. 3 stars because of no air conditioning only.

Fantastic experience: Great staff, clean changing rooms , good atmosphere , well maintained pool

Fantastic experience: Relaxing

Positive experience: It's so freindly

Fantastic experience: Good 25m pool and helpful staff. Always clean.

Positive experience: Nice pool, but a bit dated now. Lane swimming is good though as the 'fast lane' is split rather than the standard twin lane setup allowing for a better swim set.

Positive experience: Needs more equipment repaid

Positive experience: It is a good place to go to the gym or swim but it is a bit outdated and needs a bigger gym room.

Positive experience: I take lessons there, the instructors are extremely kind, the only thing that bothers me is where the showers are and how many of them are there. Very crammed getting out and very long cue, I usually end up not showering.

Positive experience: No 'shallow end' for smaller children and upstairs viewing area needs some sort of air conditioning or updating.....it's hot enough to pass out at times!

Positive experience: Great pool though it is always too warm

Fantastic experience: Fantastic

Positive experience: A trans friendly pool. Friendly staff, seperate female and male changing rooms, small gym. Fair size pool, diving allowed on deep end. Gym is a bit dated very small, ideal for locals to use. Mainly running and cycling, has 2 rowing machines. Small waiting area with vending machines.

Negative experience: I am concerned the lifeguards are to cautious and are inhibiting my daughters learning. Changing rooms are always cold

Fantastic experience: Fantastic pool. Staff are friendly and helpful. Children love it there.

Fantastic experience: Great!
