    I have had the worst treatment by the staff here. I came with my two year old daughter and wanted to use the little shallow pool. They told me I had to wear a bathing suit so I was even going to purchase one, for over £20, since I promised her that she was going to get in while her older sister was doing her swimming class. Then the person at the desk told me I was not allowed in because I hadn't booked a session! At this point I know that the little shallow pool is in fact empty. He calls his manager, Kelly. I have never seen such a cold hearted person, treating us like we were idiots. She did not even had the decency to let my little one in there for 5 minutes, which is what I had left of my session if I had booked. She had zero motherly instinct, she was cold and harsh and let's understand here, the pool at this point is still EMPTY. This little shallow pool has been used by mums and little kids that I know, WITHOUT booking while their children are doing swimming classes. Now, either this policy, which is obnoxious, is respected by everyone, or no one. I feel discriminated against, since we were not allowed to use the pool but other people were and I know for a fact they had not booked, since I specifically asked about it. Absolutely awful, horrendous treatment guys. It is a shame, as the swimming teachers are so good.

    The security is extremely rude, the place is run down with water ingress into exposed power sockets with several buckets catching rancid water falling from the roof/air circulation pipes. The cafe is overpriced and mostly cheap, horrible food. Absolutely zero phone reception and many seats cordoned off due to leaks.

    Bumping this place down a star for its cumbersome and annoying booking requirements. The pool itself is pretty good and at a decent price considering it’s so close to Glasgow. Bonus points for not needing a membership and being regularly cleaned. Like all council buildings it’s not as pristine as it was when it was new but it’s still a really good pool.

    Pro: it’s big and affordable, new gym equipment is very cool. Cons: No showers, the pool is not extremely well maintained, bit dirty

    A great venue for swimming events for the young champions. Everyone can swim- as the phrase by Scottish swimming 👍 Would be nice to have a direct bus service from train station to Tollcross swimming pool center though.

    They had the 50m pool open, decent gym there and stand so you can have an audience if you want! There is a small place to get food and drink. It is handy that you don't have to leave but it is expensive.

    Such an impressive place. They sell food and drinks too. The swimming pools are amazing. Can't wait to return again

    Great place as it has swimming as an option for free in your gym pass. Clean and no restriction if you have clients joining, other then they have to have pass too. The gym could use some upgrades and fixing but overall good condition. There are courts available for extra like basketball badminton etc.

    Lovely Friendly lady on reception this morning my first time visiting here in perhaps 1 year and it was a very pleasant visit. I had asked about the Health suite and unfortunately it has never reopened since closing due to Covid. The lady was kind enough to explain to me as I had asked why I couldn't book it in the app or online. I waited until our time booked and the lovely lady behind the reception said ok boys and girls you can go in. She made us all laugh as there were quite a bunch waiting to go in. Now that's what I call service with a Smile, I'm just sorry I never got her name but she had to take an upto date photo for my pay as you go file, and she commented and said you e went from long hair to short and I've went from Short to long We both laughed. It cost nothing to Share a Smile across the way when doing so it can make all the difference and uplift that persons day. Thankyou for doing so it's set me up for the day X

    Half the hair dryers are broken and the showers are also needing some attention (broken, flow issues etc) but otherwise great big pool, lovely staff, lots of classes on offer etc

    Excellent big swimming pool, changing rooms are clean and plenty of locker space.

  • 5/5 Rebecca W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great pool facilities and friendly staff. Take a 20p coin for your locker.

    Kids football on saturday mornings indoor is great however not overly child friendly in the swimming. The small kids pool is next to a massive double door which constantly opens and closes and every time it does the cold air that comes in is freezing. Not good right next to a child pool.

    New gym is cracking. Can get pretty busy just after work but didn't experience too long a wait for any equipment. Staff are all really friendly and helpful.

    My partner and I use different swimming facilities when travelling and have just come to Tollcross Glasgow. Not knowing the pool or set up at new places is sometimes a challenge but the greeting and friendliness of the gentleman at the front desk today was superb. Warm, welcoming, friendly and helpful, couldn’t ask for more hence the 5 star rating. Unfortunately there was no name badge to use on this review but hopefully he gets to find this review and hope that he realised how appreciated his welcome was.

    Visited the Rose Garden. These are part of international rose trials, and it was fascinating to see all the different roses - there are loads! All labelled too. Lots of beautiful flowers, even in August. What a great place.

    If you want to visit once, you can download app the app and book a time slot pretty easily. It's only 4 pounds. They provide lockers and showers, and even hairdryers.

    The pool is good, but usually very busy. Seems like they only use one half of the main pool and seems like a waste. Sauna and hot tub facilities have been closed since COVID - seems to be the same for all Glasgow clubs which seems like a waste. Staff always very friendly and helpful
