Positive experience: During my stay in Bangor, I walked in for 4 swims. Pool is clean. Water temp is satisfactory. Staff are friendly as well. But half of the pool was always occupied by other training. Though, it is a nice place for recreation.

Fantastic experience: Swimming lessons are well organised and delivered by highly trained friendly staff
Thank you for sharing this!
Positive experience: Pools decent, but not great opening times for people who have jobs, never open past 8pm for public swims, and most days it's only a couple of lanes before that anyway
Thank you for letting us know! We will be considering your point and will try to resolve it.
Fantastic experience: Good full size pool. The shallow end for kids is a metre deep so make sure you've go a floaty on your babies as small children will need them unless they can swim. Lessons and small gym available ☺️
Thank you for sharing! we are very happy to see this!
Negative experience: Paid full price for1/3 of children's pool. No room for any kind of swimming. Showers not working. Bit of a rip-off
Thank you for letting us know!
Positive experience: Fantastic ! Very friendly! I will be sure to return next time I visit Bangor
Great! Thanks for sharing! We look forward to welcoming you back!
Fantastic experience: Superb facility with fantastic staff.
Thank you very much! We are very happy to hear this!
Positive experience: Great. Staff left us use the showers for little money.
Wonderful! thank you for sharing!
Positive experience: Good large pool but female changing facilities are dreadful: too small and dark, toilets often closed and leaking, but the worst thing is the lack of any privacy of the female communal showers from the general pool and public view. I don’t know how you get away with this.
Thank you for letting us know about this, we are very sorry to hear about the female changing facilities. We will be taking your thoughts into consideration in order to improve them.
Fantastic experience: did 10 bench presses and nearly dropped fhe weights on my face
Amazing!!! Glad to hear, if you would like, you can ask any of our staff to help you with our equipment,
Fantastic experience: Really friendly staff and very clean building. Lifeguards are ace! Great place for everyone, including students. Kind enough to let us train for our weird sports (e.g. octopush) and not laugh!
Amazing!!! thank you so much for sharing this!! We are very happy to hear this great news!
Fantastic experience: Cool smell
Positive experience: Children's pool was a bit cold but overall nice facilities, very clean changing rooms
Thank you for letting us know!
Negative experience: The staff needs to stop abusing there authority not the girls the boys
We apologize for this and do not tolerate any kind of these behaviour. We will be looking in to this matter, Is it possible for us to contact you personally? if so, could you send it through messenger at Byw'n Iach account? And thank you for letting us know!
Fantastic experience: Great pool.....
Thank you!! We are very happy to hear!
Fantastic experience: Really like the swimming pool
We are so happy to hear this!!! Thank you so much!
Positive experience: The pool looks a bit derelict from the outside and needs an update, but even with that said the staff were friendly as helpful and the pool was as you’d expect for something that needs a tidy up. The main pool is warm enough and it’s great to swim in such a deep pool. A bit of tlc, would definitely take this facility to the next level.
Thank you for letting us know!!! We will take this into consideration
Positive experience: Great place for swimming however the children's pool is better suited to older children as its around a 1m20cm deep. Also has diving boards and gym facilities
Thank you for letting us know!!! And glad to hear you were satisfied with our facilities.
Fantastic experience: The gyms got everything you might need. I've also been taking advantage of the swimming lessons which are part of the membership. Great service too, really pleased .
We are so happy to hear this!!! Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Bit strange due to covid rules but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it and will certainly keep going
Wonderful!! We are very happy that you had a great time and will be returning!
Positive experience: Communication isn't great. The one way system is good for the swimming pool but doesn't really work if you need the toilet in the way out when yiu are getting changed as means you have to go the wrong way to the entry side of the pool
Thank you for letting us know, we will be taking this into consideration and changing the problem.
Negative experience: Awful. Just...don't even have the words. All I wanted was to pay my brothers monthly Direct Debit from a distance (300 miles away) it was easier to apply for my mortgage. They are still using carbon triplicate and carrier pigeons. All I wanted was for them to Email me a Direct Debit Mandate, so I could sign and return. You'd think I'd asked them a formula for cold fusion. Everywhere else it is 2021. This place is firmly routed in 1976. Common sense here is like PPE at the start of the pandemic, rare and in short supply.
Negative experience: Lovely swim today
Positive experience: Decent facilities.
Positive experience: Loved swimming there
Positive experience: Disabled bathroom is not a radar key
Thank you for letting us know!
Fantastic experience: Good place for fitness

Fantastic experience: Staff are famtastic and v helpful
Fantastic experience: Me and the kid love coming here at school holidays. The diving boards r open a cupola times in the day and the bring their inflatable course out. Need to phone 1 just in case
Negative experience: This was my first visit here to over sixties swim, didn't think it would only be a quarter of the pool.I was dissapointed to see most of it fast lane swimming.I was told to swim anti clockwise by another swimmer and as a nervous swimmer this was stressful.Also I found only one hairdryer working out of three. The whole place seemed tired and outdated so it's not for me.Back to llandudno for me I'm afraid.
I'm sorry to hear about this. We will take tour review into consideration!
Positive experience: Love this place
Great! We are glad to hear that you enjoy your experience with us!

Positive experience: Good
Positive experience: My eldest son swims here on a weekly basis. Facilities are good and have recently been renovated. As this is a competition pool you will find the water colder than in most leisure centres or pools but this has never been an issue for us.
Great, were glad to hear that you're happy with your experience with us!
Positive experience: Nice
Fantastic experience: Brilliant facilities great instructors. Highly recommended.
Great, were glad to hear that you were pleased with your experience at Byw'n Iach. We look forward to seeing you soon.
Negative experience: This place needs a good scrub, dirty floors and changing rooms and public showers. Needs an upgrade in the changing rooms. The pool was so cold that after 20 mins my daughter started going blue. The showers where too hot that it almost scolded me esp after being in such a cold pool.
We are sorry that you were not pleased with your experience at Byw'n Iach Bangor. We will take your review in consideration and hope next time you will be pleased with your experience. We hope you can visit us again soon and you will give us another chance.
Fantastic experience: Large pool, very deep at end. Inflatable events now and again.
Thank you for letting us know that you were pleased with your experience here at Byw'n Iach, Bangor.
Fantastic experience: Worst gym you could join in every aspect from gym facilities to the staff. There is hardly anyone at the reception and you have to wait for literally 10-15 minutes to get your card scan and get the code for gym.
I'm sorry to hear that you were not pleased with your experience with us at Byw'n Iach, thank you for letting us know. We hope we could change your mind and opinion if you give us another chance by visiting us again
Positive experience: Very warm .clean pool .
Positive experience: Good pool. Facilities need updating and more fitness classes
Negative experience: Timetable doesn't accurately reflect the times when the whole pool is publicly available. E.g. "Time A - Time B, Public Swimming", then you go and there's only two very cramped lanes available. Not easy for people who are busy during the day and like space to swim, as this usually happens in the evenings. Also, the pool appears clean at first glance or to a swimmer at the surface, but the bottom of the deep end is disgusting. Sediment settled along most of the floor, bits floating in the water, definitely not regularly cleaned. Recently went with a large group of friends and within the next 24 hours, all of us had developed fevers and sickness to varying extent, with the same symptoms. Other friends who did not swim but interact with the group regularly did not get sick.
Negative experience: Busy pool not suitable for training as an individual. 25 meters
Fantastic experience: Good pool
Fantastic experience: I love this place , my children really enjoy the diving at the deep end, the staff are friendly, changing rooms are clean and pool is clean, the place is worth going to for a swim
Positive experience: Nice place shame you cant pay as you go for diving on a Saturday and it more than other places to dive
Fantastic experience: Brilliant staff my daughter loves her lessons
Positive experience: A decent swimming pool. Some changing rooms too dark without light. X
Fantastic experience: Nice
Fantastic experience: Enjoyable time we all had
Positive experience: Public swimming bath's & sport's center
Negative experience: Not so clean.
Positive experience: It's ok this place is not for any one who is really in to sport and fitness but it's good for beginners
Positive experience: Nice modern gym
Positive experience: Great swimming baths lots of lifeguards
Fantastic experience: Great place
Positive experience: Changing rooms could be a bit more cleaner
Positive experience: Pretty nice pool, diving boards are fun when open, never seen the slides open though
Fantastic experience: Lovely gym
Fantastic experience: Good swimming pool. Small gym . Good prices .
Negative experience: Expensive for what is really an outdated and ugly pool. The changing rooms are one big unisex ones with lots of tiny cubicles to get changed in and it was freezing. Not impressed..
Negative experience: Bob on.
Positive experience: It's alright I guess
Positive experience: There's a gym...big pool but no slides
Thanks for the review!
Positive experience: Played 5 a side outside. Good pitch and floodlights etc
Thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: A nice and well kept swimming pool!
Positive experience: Good pool, good staff but changing area really needs a revamp. Parking is free too and a good fitness room
Positive experience: The smell got me a bit. Heavy disinfectant rather than chlorine. But it's a nice pool with diving boards, enough space and the staff seemed amicable.
Negative experience: Visited today after calling to check times 5.30-6.30 Was sadly interrupted and insulted by a very rude personal instructor who addressed children playing in the small pool...threatening them regarding their playing with water balls... upon speaking to manager he stated we were lucky to be in the small pool as it shouldn't be open ... I told him perhaps his staff should of informed myself and other this when I rang.. upon looking on the website This evening the small pool was open to the public ... sadly we were also only able to use half as they were also holding lessons in it... In website it also stated 2 lanes in large pool however the whole large pool had lanes ... in really disappointed in the behaviors of the private instructor and the way the situation was handled... public swimming should be public swimming and children should b able to enjoy their swimming rather than so called instructors behaving badly!
Negative experience: I havent actually been there yet but is there cubicles in the girls changing rooms?? I hate it when its just one big room with loads of randomers changing
Positive experience: Could do with having a cafe, kiosk. It's a shame when you were a kid you would go swimming with your friends and afterwards go get your chip bap x
Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities aground..and staff
Fantastic experience: All the staff there are really helpful , caring and professional .
Positive experience: I just use the carpark here, swimming in children's p*** is not my idea of fun.
Positive experience: Good pool. Helpful staff. Don't like the 20p charge for lockers though. Plenty of people have figured a way to not pay this, it seems.
Positive experience: Brilliant place for all
Positive experience: One of two swimming pools on Anglesey. Good pool but can get busy
Positive experience: Great place when the slide is open
Negative experience: Horrible really hot, got a verroca once
Positive experience: Better all round than Caernarfon leisure centre!
Positive experience: Friendly staff good facilities
Fantastic experience: Brilliant staff & my kids are always monitored by the training staff. Highly recommended to any parent looking to get young ones swimming lessons.
Positive experience: Good, quite expensive and you don't get money back for the lockers
Positive experience: The water is clean and staff is nice
Positive experience: Amazing
