I am not local to the area, my phone had run out of battery, and I was hopelessly lost! Were it not for the amazing Rosie and Lydia in the library section, I would still be wandering around lost in Thamesmead. They were so kind and helped me on my way. They are a real credit to Better Thamesmere Leisure Centre.
Iesha was excellent. She went above and beyond to print the document I needed even when there was an issue printing them.
Don’t bother signing up! They’ll hike up the price on your debit card without telling you, and when you try to cancel, they make you rejoin at a different rate with tons of confusing membership options. The staff aren’t much help either. Even with the NHS discount, it’s £47 a month—which is ridiculous considering the machines are old, they close at 4 PM on weekends, and sometimes shut down during the week for random “fixes.” You can find way better gyms for half the price.
The staff was very nice the pool was clean my daughters enjoy it it very impressive it is not that big so I can see anything there are also life guards everywhere I feel so safe definitely recommend
We were really impressed with our experience here. All the staff we came in contact with were polite and helpful. We were the only family in the pool despite it being half term, the water was lovely and warm and changing rooms spotless!
Very disappointed with the Thamesmead Leisure Centre services. My son attends swimming lessons there, and there have been issues with hot water there for over 4 months. The problem with hot showers was raised so many times by many parents, but still, no actions were taken. Staff at the reception give empty promises....it's very inconvenient not to have hot showers, especially in winter when kids are constantly getting sick.... It's very unfair and unprofessional to be updated on increased lesson prices but no updates at all on hot water issues.
I totally loved my experience , water its warm. Staff very careful of your safety. The place its very clean!
The woman at the reception gets very angry and stressed. In the showers, there are flies and moths everywhere. The slide is very dangerous; when you go down to the last bit, you hit your head on the side. Many children were left crying My daughter is so scared to wash herself there. The water is very dirty and blurry (you cannot see underwater with goggles). It is a nice place for family swimming but the receptionists are RUDE!! I also dont understand how places are all sold out for swim for all when there are more than 24 places? My daughter was so desperate to go and she couldn't. i felt so bad!
I went to go swimming last week after work and was told that men can not swim during the evening, I ask what evening can men use the swimming pool, she said only before 5pm however women can swim on certain evening throughout the week. I replied ‘Most people work up until 5pm’ she then moved on to talk to a lady going swimming. Absolutely not acceptable - Greenwich Council and Better pride themselves in equality and diversity, equal opportunity etc and excluding men is unacceptable She told me to go to woolwich to swim which is not ideal, I went and it was closed (preserving energy) Blimey, just imagine if this was women band, I didn’t realise we are back in the 1930s
My closest pool, I’ve started going in the mornings before work. It’s pretty shallow (0.9m>1.5m>0.9m) so I actually knock my fingers on the bottom doing front crawl if I’m not careful! Overall though it’s a great facility, free car parking means I can be there in around 5 minutes from my home. Staff are friendly, and as a new swimmer I’ve found fellow slow lane users are a nice understanding bunch. The shallow pool is actually pretty helpful for when I’m practicing! I’m a Better Swim member and use others in the area too, mostly tripping out to Stratford- but Thamesmere is great when I’m just wanting a quick bit of exercise. Will have to try out the gym sometime. They look to do a spin class I might try
