Bude Leisure Centre

We went swimming, wonderful experience. they did a good job with the new roof the children loved the waves and slide

Visited with our grandson he really enjoyed it could get him to come out he loved the waves didn't stop laughing staff friendly and helpful 👍

What a great facility for the public (non members) to use. we're on holiday and i wasn't brave enough for going in the sea or tidal pool during a cold april - which is where the rest of the family had toddled off to. i created an account and booked a 'swim for fitness' session - it was easy. i arrived in good time and was greeted by friendly staff who talked me through the set up. the pool wasn't too busy and was set up with 3 wide lanes for slow, medium, and fast swimmers. the temperature of the pool was just right for me for a fitness session. the showers and changing rooms were very clean and there is a poolside loo if you need it. although the shower pressure switches need overhauling so they stay on for a bit otherwise you need to wash one handed. 20p for the use of the generous lockers, not returned after use. so make sure you put all your stuff in it or have a few coins if you need to use it more than once. thank you bude leisure centre! just an extra note: between the locker and changing area i managed to drop my phone which was picked up and handed in. i was glad that i saw the chap who handed it in and thanked him. on reflection thank you didn't seem enough, given it's my phone and wallet these days - so if it was you thank you again - star!!!

Seems okay enough for a leisure centre. swimming was about average price wise. the regular waves got quite frustrating especially with smaller children. lots of older children had zero spatial awareness for others, but says more about the parents than the pool. changing rooms had dirty water nappies in so could do with extra cleaning. otherwise a big standard council run pool
