Thanks for your review. Our pool water is always set at the correct temperatures of 29 degrees and 31 degrees for the small pool. We appreciate that our air temperature when leaving the pool could be warmer, and accept our apologies for this. With a lifespan of 1 year for the building, we are trying our best to take cost-effective action to ensure the best quality for everyone. We look forward to moving to The Highlight Active Wellbeing Hub in 2026.

Negative experience: We have just left the swimming pool , my partner was kicked by a guy in the pool today, then verbally abused by him . The girl on pool side came to see my partner and suggest that the guy was in the RIGHT as this was the fast lane . , she said she had called her boss , who again came to speak to my partner . THE OTHER GUY WAS NOT SPOKEN WHILE WE WERE THERE . Today the 20 meter pool was like sardines swimming as they had closed 2 lane , we were never informed of any of this . The staff need a serious discussion on how to deal with people , my partner was spoken to by both the lifeguard and the manager , yet the other guy was left in the pool . THIS IS SOMEWHERE I WOULD NOT TAKE KIDS TO THESE PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND ZERO TOLERANCE IS FOR EVERYONE .

Positive experience: It’s located on Raby Road in Hartlepool, England. It is a place for leisure activities such a swimming, football, tennis, gym as well as other sporting activities. It is opened on all days of the week but the resumption and closing time differs slightly on weekends. It has a hall that can be booked for parties as well as other kind of celebrations or even church parties. However, they are a strong stickler to time as an extra minute past the closing time indicated will not be allowed.

Positive experience: We visited here on a rainy day for a swim with our 10yr old son. The reception staff were lovely and helpful The changing room floors were filthy (so glad we had our flipflops) lots of lockers (£1.00 returnable when you open it up again). From what we saw the place does need a refurbishment. The 2 showers had lovely warm water but as I said the floors need cleaning more often

Diane Darlington (Dee) 4 years ago

Negative experience: Terrible customer service. Phoned a day in advance to be told we could just show up with our 1 year old as the bookings system is off now. To be told at reception, swimming isn't available as school where in and the kids pool is closed until 6pm. 6PM FOR A KIDS POOL. Most kids at that time are getting ready for bed. Absolutely ridiculous. Also told by a lovely gentleman who was leaving as we arrived that their was kids in the pool and it was quiet. Paid for parking for nothing. Receptionist on arrival couldn't tell us why receptionist on the phone stated different facts. More communication between staff is needed and more access for all ages is also needed. You'd think a swimming pool would be crying for money after the pandemic but apparently not.

Positive experience: Not the best swimming pool but still good. Great prices too. Changing rooms tend to smell abit due to plumbing and water is abit cold when you get straight in to it. There is a baby pool. 25 metre pool and pretty sure 20 metre pool. There is a large red slide and diving boards
