Kingswood Leisure Centre

Nice swimming pool with a good water temperature. Lane swimming sessions are well priced and scheduled at reasonably accessible times. Very friendly staff.

Seven years ago, my friend and myself, decided, as a New Year’s resolution, to start swimming, once a week, just to try and get some exercise Most New Year’s resolutions don’t last that long, but seven years later we are still swimming, and now, three times a week. The pool is great, although my friend will say it’s a little cold sometimes!! The changing rooms are always clean, and the staff are very friendly. The facilities here, offer everything you need to keep fit, without the extortionate prices of a private leisure centre. Would highly recommend

I thought I’d leave a review about the softplay and party hire as I struggled to find many reviews on these before I booked. Pros: - Competitively priced - Not too big/ too many levels - which is good for younger kids, as they don’t get stuck! - Plenty of parking in the car park and on street - Able to choose from a variety of time slots (as opposed to other venues which are limited to particular days/ slots) Cons: Parties are run back to back on the weekend with very little buffer time in between which means: - The spaces aren’t cleaned in between parties so the cleanliness of the space depends entirely on how the previous party left it. It wasn’t too bad when we came in (although we did need to do some tidying) but I imagine it can get quite bad by the end of the day - so not great if you have an afternoon booking - If you’re hiring a room in addition to the softplay there’s not much time to set up/ decorate the room - There’s no one from the facility to ensure people adhere to the booking times. We were booked in for 12 but the previous party had not left by this time, so it was up to us to ask them to leave Overall we enjoyed the party, and it was good value for money but I’m not sure I’d book again as I’d prefer somewhere with a bit more coordination/ support provided by the venue. I would, however, use the softplay again. An additional point I’d note: we were advised that the capacity was 25 children but I think it would probably have felt overcrowded (especially if parents are there too). We had around 15 kids + parents which felt about right.

We’ve been coming here regularly for 4 years with my daughters swimming lessons, it’s a nice pool with good facilities although sometimes there isn’t a pleasant smell in the changing room area! 3 diving boards although they’re not open to the public that often. My daughter has recently stopped swimming lessons as she reached a stage where she was no longer gaining any benefit from coming, although she still likes to come now for pleasure with her friends. Staff on the whole very friendly, car Park very cramped and tight spaces (watch out for traffic wardens if you park in the bays outside!!)

I purchased a 12-month contract, and after six months I wanted to cancel my contract, but that was very difficult. I didn't go to the gym most of the time. I would advise you to think before you decide , as there is no way to cancel afterwards. The last month's payment, the company deducted my monthly cost and then refunded it, informing me a few days later that I had to pay for the last month plus interest. I was charged interest because I had missed a payment by several days. I am embarrassed by the charging system. All I have lost is money and no pleasure.
