    Just went there for a swim.Thoroughly enjoyed my time there.Pool is a good size and people there are super friendly. Don't know about other activities at the Centre but I have returned for another swim session since my first visit last week. I really like this place.

    Visited this centre as part of my membership, disappointed of the size of the gym but I guess it it what it is you can still do a FBW, however the main reason I went there was swimming pool - unfortunately it looks old inside, old tiles in the changing room, not looking good, not smelling good. Pool itself was smelling bad and was white? Lanes were very wide don’t understand that. For a plus definitely a good amount of guards watching out

    Lovely venue for kids parties and when we went 3 huge bouncy castles were used and super heroes hired! Really enjoyed the party! Plenty of parking and a good snack selection on reception and team members to support

    Nice and quiet place offering swimming and other work out opportunities for all ages, tucked away in the middle of Penlan, Swansea. We liked it instantly as it is quiter and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is a lot more affordable too. Will visit again.

    I have opened to discontinue swimming classes but I am still been charged for next 3 months and none from the reception could help. Just waste of time chasing.. Very unorganized!

  • 5/5 Ann G. 5 months ago on Google
    Had a great time doing aqua Zumba in a fab pool plenty of room for everyone

  • 4/5 Rowan T. 5 months ago on Google
    Great place for children to learn how to swim but do not buy anything very expensive £15 + for goggles

  • 1/5 Ross P. 6 months ago on Google
    I take my son for swimming lessons here and it’s dreadful. The swimming teachers who look after the younger classes are not prepared and the kids spend most of the lessons waiting around. Also no feedback or attempt to give the child any confidence. Go elsewhere…..

    Friendly staff, nice pool. Good fun with the floats for the kids. Lanes are spacious during lane swimming. Old school site which hasn't changed much since the 90s.

  • 1/5 david t. 9 months ago on Google
    You can never swim here really.. Its always booked up with other pool things going on !

  • 4/5 Chris H. 1 year ago on Google
    Go here 4 times a week, pooches gone bloody cold lately, loads of room when booking, but life guards need to tell people from earlier swims to get out of pool after there 45mins, they stay in the pool swim in the wrong lanes, and makes it to crowded for the next swimmers, but lovely size pool, nice changing area, showers hot

  • 4/5 sonnie b. 9 months ago on Google
    Grown up coming here, a lot of good memories made. Went there the other day amd staff were lovely, life guard was giving me some pointers getting involved in the session which he didn't have to do and it made it more fun

  • 2/5 Nicole A. 10 months ago on Google
    Well organised, clean and always happy with my experience there. Edited two weeks later. Staff didn't seem to be well organised today. I was questioned at the door about my payment done online - however online it's a family swim that doesn't state ANYWHERE it's one adult and child is free, thereafter each adult pays. It should be called adult / carer and child swim not FAMILY swim. Paid for a session at a specific time and entered the pool at specified time however when entering the pool, I was told session started in 45 min not now. Try telling that to a 1 year old that. Not a very pleasant experience at all this time round which is such a pity considering I always highly recommend Penlan leisure centre.

  • 4/5 anna e. 9 months ago on Google
    I love this place..not only is it near my home but in the morning its lovely and quiet and calm for my morning swim. I pay £31 per month which is excellent price and for this I could do a lot more classes such as pilates or yoga...I will try them one day...reception staff lovely and friendly.

  • 5/5 Laura W. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff are friendly and helpful, could do with more private showers and changing

  • 4/5 Seb L. 1 year ago on Google
    Seems well kitted out. Swimming pool and gymnasium. Just been to a kids birthday party where they set up three bouncy castles, my children had an absolute blast.

  • 3/5 Julie J. 1 year ago on Google
    We would have more room to do aqua if the pool wasn't sectioned off.

  • 5/5 Vixx O. 1 year ago on Google
    Always choose to come here fir swimming with the kids. A big shallow area for the little ones while confident swimmers can go in the larger pool. Lockers take a £1 coin/ trolley token...you get it back. Good selection of drinks/ snacks/ Costa for after. Really friendly helpful staff.

  • 4/5 GhanaTourism1 W. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice place. Gym. Swimming pool. Whirlpool. Children pool. Swimming and water sports training courses offered. Not recommended Sundays, as they open only from 11 - 2pm and again from 7pm- 8pm the pool. Unfortunately, no coffee/restaurant. But early open, at very reasonable price. Adults 3.60 pounds. Run by the City and Council of Swansea. Well maintained. Life guards available, all time. Recommended.

  • 5/5 Sam M. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the swimming pool and the 4G football pitch. Secondary faciiities such as lobby, toilets, changing rooms good too

  • 4/5 Lisa H. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jackie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Go swimming most mornings !!! Changing rooms very clean, lovely hot showers and hairdryers. Staff are very friendly and helpful 😀😀

  • 4/5 Bryony W. 1 year ago on Google
    I go for the swimming, decent size pool, can be busy but as long as you book online you can tell which times are the busiest. Clean premises and unisex changing rooms, but do have private cubicles and even crubicled showers as well as public ones.

  • 1/5 James T. 1 year ago on Google
    Paid £13 for a family swim, got into the pool at 6:10 and was told our swimming was over at 6:50 even though the family pool was quiet with only 3 families there including us. What a rip off for a run down old leisure centre.

  • 5/5 tracey t. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place for your child's swimming birthday party 30+ kids and they all had an awesome time highly recommended

👍👍 Loved every minute in here. We didn't book but it was no problem. Sunday lunch was excellent and a welcomed treat on our visit to Llanelli.
