Fairfield Leisure

Want to recognise Gordon and Abi for their help and support with my 4.5yr olds swimming. He has quite a fear of water but the change in him in the last couple months is amazing! They provide just the right balance of independence and extra support and can't thank them enough!

Very disappointed … my son in stages 4 lessons at 5:30 pm on Thursday. I don’t know what the teacher teaching but he was in stage 4 for more than a year , not much improving ( 6 month from January to June 2023 his swimming level still 79%-83%) The class always has 12 children but practicing in one lane ( not enough room for kids learning) teacher is always letting one kid does practice in a time and then children had to waiting in the end lane for all the kids finished and then do it again so not much chance to practice in short lesson 🙁 furthermore Teaching time always late minimum 5 minutes between each lesson.

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 another go with our son. Unfortunately their website doesn't show prices. You have to create an account just to see how much it costs to go swimming. I decided to call the pool instead to ask about prices. I gave up after being in hold for over 10 mins. I could understand them being busy during school holidays but 10.45am on a weekday during term time is probably not their peak period. Pretty disappointed that they don't provide easy access to basic info like prices, and you can't speak to anyone. Also, if they're so understaffed that they can't answer the phone then I don't hold much hope for their changing room cleaning regime.

All the exercise classes I have attended so far have been excellent. Sessions are well-paced and instructors are mindful of newbies tailoring exercises to support and suit all levels.

During the summer break, the entire atmosphere was great, gym was not as busy, but now it’s packed 😭😭. I have to wait so long to use the machines and the changing rooms are so humid. Not to mention the showers often smell of pee and feels very dirty overall. Don’t pee in the showers guys, thank you.
