Best places: Public swimming pools in Kent

Landmark art deco outdoor swimming pool, built as a semicircle jutting into the sea in 1935.

👍👍 Attended here for a gymnastics finals weekend. The venue itself is really good (for the facilities we used). Expect an hour long queue if you're getting food or drinks whilst attending an event here (there's a McDonald's a couple of minutes drive away). Although you can pay for 24hr parking, the ca...

Public pool available for open swimming as well as beginner & baby lessons & other training.

😐 Good value family activity. The rapids, hot tub and slide are all really good, but the mini pool adjacent has been closed off every time we have visited (either for lessons, or just because they felt like it), so actual swimming doesn’t happen here. Sadly it is often over-sold so it can be uncomfort...

Large fitness center featuring a climbing wall, pools, waterslides & group classes, plus a cafe.

🫤 Needs some renovations and fast. For the price of £60-80 per month and have mould and dust everywhere! Wow. And the steam room works probably only half the time. Shortly after starting going into the spa I got a fungal infection! Never have I had anything before and then suddenly this happens. I don...

😠 No one ever picks up the phone, tried to cancel my membership, so stopped the DD, they then all of a sudden contact me and charge me an extra £15 for doing so the website is all about signing up and its to hard to try and find a section about canceling it. the place need a good clean, the showers...

👍 The staff are all great, the Tony stark funky looking dude who was a life guard, felt the need to assert his dominance as a lifeguard and be rude, due to his incapability of communicating, I feel as though he may need to attend anger management classes. And Tony if you're reading this, you're a life...

😠 We stopped going to Fairfield about a year ago as their changing rooms were very dirty and it was putting our daughter of going swimming as she didn't want to get changed there. We were using White Oaks but a friend said they had been to Fairfield recently and it wasn't too bad. I decided to give it...

Sports and fitness centre with 25m and teaching pools, a high-tech gym and multi-use sports hall.

😐 Was the best place to be while growing up but seems to have been forgotten over the years......still not sure why the people can't own this and update where needed such a shame to see it fall apart as so many good year's......hopefully thing's will change.....SAVE OUR LIDO before it's to late😔

🫤 I am absouletly APPAULED with how the staff members treated us. We went in and payed for swimming, the manager was at reception and she just had this very unpleaseant tone. As my aunty was explaining to her that they do accept carers cards because my aunty is a carer and comes with her two physicall...

Community fitness centre offering a small gym, indoor pool & group classes for kids & adults.

👍👍 Staff friendly. So far, so good for service, and the swimming teachers are lovely x Now been coming for over a year, and the staff are still great. My child loves the lessons, just wish there was more availability for leisure swimming

Health and leisure centre with full-size sports hall, plus fitness studios and 3 swimming pools.

🫤 Sadly going downhill rapidly. Only 1 of 3 poolside showers working. Steam room not hot enough, jacuzzi cold. Where are all the mosaic tiles going to in the steam room? I belong to a lower tiered Bannatynes which is in far better condition and we still have wet kit bags. Come on - pull your socks...

😠 Very disappointed with this place, especially because of the lack of communication and interest from the swimming pool management / team. My son was attending swimming lessons since September 2021. Everything was fine till February this year. Classes were constantly cancelled for different reasons,...

😠 Unfortunately this swimming centre has to be one star as the 3 time I have used this place there is way to many other swimmers in a small pool yesterday there was over 30 people in a 25 meter pool with 2 lanes closed it just seems like there more concerned about maximum money making by jamming as m...
