The earliest memories I have of Cheadle swimming baths was turning up on cold winter mornings for school swimming lessons so the bright pool area that is the (relatively) newer, and definitely brighter pool was a pleasant revelation. Some of the lockers will only take tokens but most accept new pound coins and the changing area was clean. At 33 metres the main pool is a non-standard length which takes some getting used to and it's one of the deepest pools I've been in so be careful with unconfident swimmers. The small pool is quite a bit smaller and it's only really suitable for the younger children and parents. Unlike other children's pools it isn't a paddling pool with toys and other distractions.

I really like this pool. But I would not recommend anyone to go to the general swim sessions in the week day afternoons. The problem is the general swim shares the pool with swimming lessons. According to the timetable it's half and half. I e three lanes each in the main pool. Generally there are 6 swimming lessons going on at the same time. Three in the small pool and three occasionally four in the main pool. It is a 33 m pool and approximately 8 m of the shallow end swimming lesson half is cordoned off across the three lanes usually this is used by 1 swimming lesson but sometimes two. The other approx 25m of the swimming lessons half is split into the three lanes. Which anyone would think would accommodate two or three lessons. However on random days this is not sufficient. And often one lesson uses all three lanes the other lesson.commanders a fourth Lane which is taken from the general swimming 3 lanes. Today I was at the pool and this happened, there was a total of 5 lesson swimmers using the three lanes so the 4th Lane was commandeered for a total of 6 lesson swimmers. Leaving the general public to struggle in the remaining two lanes. I've been in the pool when 37 people have been herded into two lanes for the general swim.

Swim here at your own risk! Staff happy to allow people with vomit & diarrhoea in the pool. Won't offer a rebook or refund in the event of illness/covid etc. Fobbed off to email by reception staff when we called in advance to advise we were unwell. No reply on email. Very poor policy which actively encourages people to attend when they are ill. Utter germ pit and will be avoiding.

From all the Life Leisure centres this one is the best. Not too big, have sauna and pool and classed too, not only the gym. Oh, and it isn't full of big headed gym buffs, so little me feels OK being there... ;)

Lovely warm watet in pool, staff are great xx

A bit chaotic but first swimming lesson was enjoyed by my granddaughter. When we left it was obviously dark outside and there were no lights on the building outside at all. This could be an accident waiting to happen as the area is dark.

Shockingly bad gym. Very small and limited kit, not the best kit either and this place is full of school kids. Changing rooms aren't the best. dont really like the atmosphere here. Better of going the the Village, Waterside, Enegie or Puregym as they all have better offerings.

Small pool is warm for young kids

Great pool, and swimming lessons for my daughter were excellent 👍

Cameron is the most amazing swimming instructor. He has a beautiful bond with my daughter and has been the only person who has successfully taught her! She has Down’s syndrome and low muscle tone but he has not let this get in the way of her success! He is a wonderful man!

Great swimming facilities for the family or if you want to go on your own.

Swimming lessons are really poor. Complete lack of communication between instructors, coordinators and managers. Ended up with my eldest leaving in tears.

Great little gym, has plenty of equipment for it's size. Shower pressure in the gym can be hit and miss (being upstairs probably doesn't help) however the showers in the pool section are great. Plenty of parking and located quite near to local bus routes.

Lovely staff, £4 per swim, changing facilities are modern with separate stalls for changing and showering. They often double the width of the lanes however, which makes lane swimming harder and increases the people per lane.

Ryan who does the baby/toddler classes in the pool is a credit to the leisure centre. Our first visit today with our baby and Ryan was so thorough with his instructions. Will 100% be going to his classes in the future. Shame he only does Sunday's.

Revive Beauty. Great relaxing and pampering place. Fantastic staff.

good gym and good pool staff are nice aswell

It's a good old school swimming baths, good do with opening a few windows for the parents watching their kids have swimming lessons, mighty stifling up there 🥵

Clean .. great changing rooms and showers..free hairdryer and lockers which fit a pound tgats refunded

Both my sons have swimming lessons here and they love them.

Great gym, not intimidating like some others I've been to. Very friendly staff and lots of classes should you want to join

Gym is great and has a great weight room, however some of the PTs are very arrogant and self centred and believe their workout matters more than other peoples, sometimes shouting at kids just trying to workout.

The staff are very helpful and the gym and pool are great. The only problem is the gym showers hardly have any pressure. The first cubicle I got into the water didn’t even run and I moved to the middle shower and it was very slow. There are 3 cubicles in the gym and very disappointing. Hope the pressure will be improved in the near future
