    I'm still rating this place as a 3. I wanted to rate it higher but atm I can't. The reason being is that I joined up again in January for the gym and pool. I'm yet to use the gym so once I have I may cha get this rating. I got to the pool around 745 pm and headed to the changing rooms. Straight away I thought it was quite dirty, the floors were not clean at all and dirty footprints and mud all over. I went into a cubicle to change and could smell urine quite strongly, moved to another slightly better cubicle but could still smell it. Went to lock my stuff in a locker and the keys we're lose with no band to secure it to my wrist so had to leave the key at the side of the pool. The pool hasn't been renovated in the last 25 years it seems. Looks exactly as it did when I used to go as a boy of 13/ 14 . Water was good temp and it wasn't busy . I Swam for an hr and returned to the changing rooms. Again the cubicle smelt of urine and wasn't clean at all. Moved to another which was better but still bit clean. Overall my first visit was disappointing and has made me consider moving to another facility. I chose this place because its walking distance but I may have to drive elsewhere . I will give it a few more tries as maybe I just picked the wrong day/time to go.

    Very nice little pool. Helpful staff, free parking up to 3 hours. Lockers for 20p. Clean and plenty of life guards. The only thing I didn't like was the floor in the child's pool was a little spiky. The tiles have grip in them just a little spiky 😂

    Most of the receptionists and swimming lesson teachers are very nice and helpful! Thank them a lot .But today I got very bad experience from the tall blonde hair young receptionist, she ignored me to help other customers even she saw me have been waiting for her much earlier than others ,when I asked why ,she told me I have to go all the way to outside of gate to buy the swimming tickets when my daughter is already in swimming class(she has the membership,I just wanted buy tickets to join her after her class) ,but I have bought the tickets inside the gate many times no problems before. If because she said it was busy,She could tell me at beginning instead of ignoring me. So I 'm changing my review because of her treated me very unfairly. I hope I don't have to have any customer service from her again.

    Hailsham Leisure has helped me in so many ways. The exercise and in particular the pool helped me recover from several orthopaedic surgeries. Rebuilt my muscle strength and mobility. Also after the death of my husband the friendships I have found are invaluable. I go about 3 times a week and love it. I recommend everyone can find something they will love too.

    Swimming lesson teacher is great, however the water is too cold for babies. My son has to get out half way through a lesson due to blue lips and shivering and he wasn't the only child. There needs to be a separate warmer pool for babies.

    Carers discount card no longer accepted, very disappointed with this new policy. Freedom leisure or WDC 🤔 Pool was busy for lanes but deserted afterwards.

    I like Hailsham leisure centre and use it for swimming and bowling. The staff are always really friendly especially Tabitha. The reason for only 3 star's are because when we go bowling the lanes are a bit wonky and the ball will role of to the side but we still always have fun! The most disappointing thing tho is the slide is never open, they never get the inflatable out any more and the float's are in poor condition and need replacing and need more so everyone gets a go. I would still recommend coming here tho as it's not usually too busy.

    Went for the soft play and found it very clean and well organised. You get a 2 hour allotted time and your receipt allows you access in and out of the area. Separate play areas for slightly older and younger children both with slides. Adults can relax at the tables and see the whole soft play area without having to enter the actual soft play.

    Changing rooms were disgusting, dirt all over the floors.. the most disgusting pool I have ever been in, I felt physically sick! Never again. Pool was freezing too. Such a shame, as the bowling area etc. is decent. The slide doesn’t even work, their inflatable time is just a few foam mats that the kids sit on. Generally the worse pool I have been in.

    Horrible place I took my children to go swimming and someone’s chiles had done there business in the pool

    Just finished my swim and was amazed when the lifeguard started to apologise for the children's swimming lessons. He said they had had nasty comments about them. What is wrong with people? Only wish there had been fun lessons in my day, maybe then my daughter would come in the water with us instead of missing all the fun. Keep it up and ignore the miseries 😊

    Just a great place. On a very rainy Saturday we played bowling and had lunch and then swam. Excellent service and food.

😠 Appalling service from the health club staff yet again, I really don’t know why I bother paying for their “services”. Check-in was painful and really slow.
