Fantastic for kids and adults. Will be demolished and rebuilt in the near future. Hopefully it will be superb for the local community and Stevenage residents.
My son goes swimming here each week. The staff are absolutely fantastic. The missing star is just because of the cold broken showers. Which my little boy hates every week. However I am aware that they are planning on rebuilding the swimming pool so I understand why they wouldn't waste money now fixing it. The teachers are patient, and it is well set out and easy to understand for parents. Love watching him learn to swim. I've also been here for a party which was well run and all the children had a brilliant time.
I great suana and steam room area wasn't expecting that inside there
Lessons are good. The goggles available there are pricey and I overpaid for mine as they displayed one price and overcharged me, they didn’t refund it back to me, the supposedly retail manager’s way of dealing with it was shocking, absolutely ridiculous.
This is the closest swimming pool near me and it's fine. You need to book and check availability before going there because on several occasions we were turned down entrance as places get filled up quickly, alas it's still sometimes feeling busy while swimming. Overall a good swimming experience with all usual facilities.
Clean. Good showers. Baby seats in the toilets. Pool could be a little warmer for the kids. But great all round. Nice simple kids pool.
Taken my daughter here a few times and its usually OK. Today though there were teenagers in the baby pool throwing balls and diving around and yet the lifeguards didn't care. We still had an alright swim but when we were changing afterwards some dirtbag teenager decided it was best to urinate in his changing room which then just flowed into ours! Meaning we had to finish getting changed avoiding the urine stream and it stank! Told reception and they just said "Ok". No apology or "we'll sort it" etc. Will probably go to Letchworth next time.
I attend the aquasize here each week . Swimming pool is in dire need of modernisation. But the staff are friendly and the class is great fun
Great if you are a kid with school or doing lessons. Public swimming is a joke, most days you get a quarter of one pool and the kids will often swim both sides and if the divers are there they will swim your side and go underneath you. This place has a timetable but the lifeguards never follow it, most days you will see that two pools should be opened but the lifeguard only ever open the deep pool. They defiantly have the staff to open the other pools because you can see them doing nothing else. Also most days when public has a quarter of the pool you will often find it has way to many people in. They need to open the other pools and follow the timetable. The spa is ok, but often it doesnt work and some of the features have not worked for years. Pre covid.
Went to the family fun swim on a Saturday. It was a good price but that was it. They were late opening. The changing rooms were filthy. The ‘fun swim’ included a few worn out floats and that was it. Nothing in the baby pool you were not allowed to use the baby toys. The main racing float was only allowed 1 person at a time. The staff were very trigger happy with whistle blowing at everyone for anything. Save your money and go elsewhere, we certainly won’t be coming back.
