Friendly and clean facility, never too crowded and the trees beyond the windows mean you get to enjoy the great outdoors while you swim 🙌 There's a small in-house cafe and the option of the excellent Station Café is only seconds away.

Our daughter has lessons here, the instructor is really good and takes time to work with the kids.

I took my 2 year old little boy to what I was expecting to be a nicely refreshed swimming pool. I honestly could not tell you what they’ve spent all that time and money refurbishing but it definitely wasn’t the pool or changing rooms. The changing rooms were filthy, outdated and the air temperature was very cold, that was before we’d got into the arctic pool. The baby pool was so cold that we quickly had to get out. The pool itself was dirty and had grit all along the bottom. As it’s so shallow 0.8m at the deepest, the time I was in there was spent shuffling around on all the grit trying to keep moving to keep my little boy warm. When getting out of the cold pool you’re then hit by the even colder air, don’t make the mistake i did and think you can warm up in the shower… or the lukewarm trickle would be a more adept description. I did let the receptionist know how cold the pool and changing areas were when we left thinking that they might be able to turn the heating up at least for the next poor souls but I was met with a sour faced non interested staff member who simply said ‘oh’ and stared at me like I was crazy for expecting it to be slightly warm.… All in all a really dirty unpleasant experience. Catterick is a million times better.

I attend Emma's Aquafit on a Monday or Wednesday. She is absolutely amazing. Better than any other ive attended. I'd say it's dance based exercise in water, so much fun and such a good work out .... as energetic as you want it to be... love it to bits.

Was looking forward to the pool refurbishment but what a disappointment! Changing area not refurbished and quute dirty while both pools had lots of building debris encrusting the pool floor. The air temperature was cool and made walking around and getting changed very unpleasant.
The showers are a mere luke warm trickle and all in all the visit was one star. poorpoor

Not too busy, pleasant staff who keep the place spotless. I will be going again. Disabled access during the over 50s hour very good with a crane aid to enter and leave the pool.

Absolutely shocking, nothing like what's advertised on site. Not family friendly for really young kids as pool was utterly freezing, no one advised that the learner pool was shut til we got to the actual pool. Kids spent less than 10 minutes in the pool before having to get out, then actually spent more time in the shower warming up than actually swimming.

The staff were lovely and friendly but it certainly is in need of some TLC. The pool was also very cold and it had just seen better days to be honest. It had that inimitable municipal feel which stays with you even after you have dried off. I would still go again if I needed an urgent swim, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
