Active Leicester - New Parks Leisure Centre

Lovely somewhat warm swimming pools with a good timetable. Nice somewhat modern gym with chilled water or room temp. Some equipment is old but others that are Matrix branded are new equipment.

I've always enjoyed swimming, but health issues have stopped me until now. So it was great to not only get a swim but have fun with the kids. The wave machine was great, as was the splash contest we created, but sadly, the flumes are unusable. However, what was most disappointing was that all 3 of the swimming pools don't seem to care to work together. Monday night after 6 pm, all 3 have lessons, only sessions instead of having differing days to enable access to the pools after 6pm. Plenty life guards and staff seemed good enough. You need £1 returnable for the lockers. Showers are pretty warm, but the pool wasn't as cold as I expected.

Enjoyed the classes I attended, will be attending again. I think room used could do with painting to refresh it also storage room needs refreshing.

the staff are brilliant, especially lifeguard Fraser and Paris. they made me feel sooooo safe, secure and protected. :)

I Loved learning to swim at this establishment, the staff are incredibly capable at their job as well as friendly and enthusiastic. I especially felt safe when Lifeguard Fraser Tilley.
