The centre it's self is clean and tidy. The let down is the youth that enter this premises causing a nuisance for families in the pool the life guards do there best but most the youths need removein and banning

I decided to join the gym since they had the free scheme on. My plan was to go to the classes. I only went a handful of times as like l suspected/feared there's a huge click amongst a few of the regulars. I found its the same 2-3 people making others feel uncomfortable. The purple haired mother/daughter duo are so unpleasant and these are the first two people you come across as they have their very own personal allocated spaces at the back of the room, they guard them like vultures and they even have the instructors setting them up the night before for Saturdays class. Heaven forbid someone tries to get their spot. I won't be returning as no one has the right to make others feel uncomfortable. I've since spoken to many others who won't go because of this same reason. The instructors are so friendly, it's just unfortunate the other clientel aren't so welcoming.

Very poor swimming lessons for children here. Instructors are unenthusiastic, rude and dismissive of the young children in their classes. They couldn't be any less interested or less encouraging during their short time with the children. We won't be returning

Local sports center well kept place with a small cafe and plenty of seating cannot fault.

Good leisure centre and their covid prevention measures seem to be working efficiently. Unfortunately the infant swimming classes don't seem to be progressing much due to lack of 1 to 1 instruction. Staff always a pleasure.

Nice baths and softplay the big softplay is best though xx

Barclays have a hub there now can not pay money in or take money out just four help

My grandaughter loves the play area and cafe.Also the swimming baths.

Really enjoy taking kids swimming and they are understanding of sen needs however information on website is not always accurate

Worst swimming centre in the north east. 100% tolerance for bullies and general scumbags Will never use your leisure centre ever again. And don't bother wasting your money on Aquatots. Absolute garbage compared to water babies.

Great facilities staff always willing to help little soft play area for kids and little cafe for adults would easily go back over and over

Swimming under Covid restrictions is well handled, although limited info provided and not told about restrictions on permitted strokes etc (not allowed to swim down using backstroke for example). Spacing in pool good. IT issue meant despite having receipted booking did not show on baths records and could have been refused!!

Our son have swimming lessons every week and absolutely loves it. Staff are friendly and willing to help. Soft play for little ones a good gym. Only thing I would say is they need more baby change as currently over have two in the swimming changing rooms. As we are in a baby swimming lesson class theres sometimes a rush on to get them.

Staff are friendly, place is generally clean. Classes for kids and the soft play are reasonably priced. Can be difficult to get to swim with all the lessons on but that will obviously vary with everyone's availability. Easier to deal with if you're from the area.

Soft play inside, gym , swimming for reasonable prices. Soft play is free just walk in.

Only ever visit the library where the staff are very helpful and friendly and there is a good stock of books.

Don't be fooled by the external look. The facilities inside are modern with a great gym, pool and cafe area. Staff can't do enough to help you and the cleanliness is faultless.

Receptionist wasn’t very welcoming and quite rude. The cafe, not very inviting, there was a load waiting to be served while the girl assistant stood playing with coffee bags and starting into space leaving her coworker running around trying to serve 5-6 people. Pool is far too cold after 20 minutes our little one was blue and shivering. And the small pool is so shallow it’s not possible for kids to learn to swim as it’s knee height (0.5M depth) - it’s a shame as with some staff training and the pool being a few degrees warmer it would be ideal.
