    We went to a birthday party (pool party) for 5 year olds, they allow you use of the smaller pool (v decent size though) and I have to say it was amazing, brilliant. The staff were outstanding, super friendly and even played with the kids which was a huge bonus in my opinion, well done.

    We going swimming here, and the littleun has swimming lessons - good facilities, and the teacher is great. Big square pool for the younger kids to learn, and then a fair sized 25m pool for the adults, etc. Great car parking outside, and ok changing room - could do with a bit of a service though as a few things not working, hair dryers, etc - but overall worth the rating

    Would be great if they had a sauna or steam room. Changing room floor often dirty, wet or hair everywhere. I do like the water Aerobics class though and the teacher is lovely.

    The lady at the counter was so miserable being the face to greet all members coming in she needs to find another job. Kids had a lovely time HOWEVER all the showers were freezing cold and not one member thought to inform us before entering. We told the pool staff who said there's nothing they can do.

    I wanted to express my disappointment regarding our recent visit to the swimming pool with my 1-year-old and husband. I had called in advance to confirm if the leisure centre provided a swimming pool suitable for babies, and I was assured that they did. Additionally, I specifically inquired about the water temperature being appropriate for small children, and the customer service representative confirmed that it was. However, upon entering the pool, it was immediately apparent that the water was freezing. I confirmed my observation with other parents present, and they agreed that the temperature was uncomfortably low. Despite our attempts to continue the session, we had to leave abruptly as my baby's lips started turning blue due to the cold. It was disappointing that the pool staff did not address the issue, especially when they could clearly hear our concerns. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future visitors. I have sent a complaint through your website however upon looking at your reviews I can see many people have complain about the same thing yet you have done nothing to resolve it. You will respond to the review if it is involving additional complaints and yet not address the water temperature issue. How unfortunate.

    First of all I need to say a big THANK YOU to Daniel and all the staff that works at Chingford Leisure Center, they are kind , understanding, helpful and always there when need it!!!! Always ready to listen and help! Thank you, thank you!!!! More than 4 years in this swimming with all my kids and always got to have good time … is clean and nice… the only thing that is not on is that are just 3 cabins of shower for such a big swimming pool and not always working all if them… but otherwise is AMAZING!!!

  • 4/5 Steve B. 4 months ago on Google
    Used for swimming only. Changing rooms can be a little dirty after the madness of swimming classes but othewise a decent local pool with no frills (like slides etc). All kids must do a swim test to be allowed in the deep end - which is fair enough!

  • 4/5 Adam A. 10 months ago on Google
    First time here and myself and my son thoroughly enjoyed it. Not to packed so you can swim and have a play around. Nice hot shower. One downside was the faffing around at reception for 20 minutes. Lucky we got there early.

  • 3/5 Barbara (. 8 months ago on Google
    We took a one and a three year old to this leisure centre for the first time. The small pool was cold. 4 or five plastic balls were provided, no floats or noodles. If we had known, we would have brought some toys. Taking your shoes off before entering changing rooms is a great idea. You need a coin for the locker, which is refundable. Unfortunately the hot drinks machine was broken. Thank you for responding

    Doesn’t even deserve a star. Not ever I’m stepping foot in this swimming pool. The small pool was really cold. I’ve paid £16.00 for nothing (rip off) due to a load of floating foam sticks already in the pool. Moreover, swimming armbands were too hard for me to blow for the kids (didn’t even end up using it). And lastly, the staff have made us all go in the small pool even though there was an 11 year old knowing how to swim. It wasn’t fair because this time last year we were able to enter the bigger pool where there was at least an adult and a child in there. They should’ve at least said only one adult can supervise and accompany an 11 year old in the big pool in which it would have worked. Useless

    The blonde short bob haired eastern European woman on reception is so rude. She needs to go on some diversity training preferably conscious bias training, not unconscious bias. She needs to adapt to her surroundings.

    It is affordable, and you would have your money's worth.

  • 4/5 Alex P. 1 year ago on Google
    The gym's pretty standard. It lacks equipment. It's pretty cheap tho, considering they've got a pool as well.

    The swimming teachers are so nice and the staff. Specially the lady for red and Amber level lessons. Thank you so much for smiling face. 😁🙂😉😊 also thank you Tom...

  • 5/5 Gerald M. 1 year ago on Google
    We use the pools. These are well maintained and the changing area is clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. There are clean toilets and showers, both poolside and in cubicles. Plenty of parking. Only downside is no proper cafeteria, just a couple of machines selling a limited range of refreshments.
