Pools for swimming in Cardiff

“Better have vastly improved the centre since taking over from the council. Classes are professional, led by great trainers, facilities are good,, large pool, the booking app is easy, The new circuits class is especially good, run by ross/ Adrian as are yoga classes by holly. Really good value for money.”

“Fantastic facility for Cardiff and the surrounding area. To have a 6-lane 25m pool and a closed road, tarmac velodrome on the same site is extremely rare in the UK & makes for a great sporting hub!”

“Big leisure centre with plenty of everything. Lots of classes included Aqua's my favourite. Friendly helpful staff. Clean and well presented. 10/10”

“Lovely staff, pool was peaceful and really high quality, perfect temp. Hot tub was super hot and bubbly too. Would absolutely recommend for a daily morning swim”

“Brilliant gym ,member last 15 years , becoming better by the day .All should have smiling face and helping attitude like Babs.Some staff are in the gym for may years .”

“Good place for shopping or simply walk around especially during the weekend.”

“The facilities are a 6 out of 10 I think but the staff that I have met easily make up for it one of the guys at reception very helpful polite and just a nice guy same goes for the guy at the desk in the gym super helpful realy nice fella”

“My son really enjoyed his 10th birthday party there. Staff really helpful and friendly. The building looks a bit old but the view from the room upstairs is lovely.”

“My grandson has swimming lessons here. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Classes are really good. My grandson is 10months and is making huge progress in the water. It is amazing that at such a young age he is confident in the water and learning safety in the water.”

“Great range of facilities that cater to all ages and abilities including swimming pools, gym, toning suite, Spa, library, children’s soft play and wall climbing. On site cafe with plenty of seating and a good range of food and drinks that cater for some allergies. Has always been clean upon my visits. Lots of parking with ample disabled spaces. Access to free two hours parking if using the Halo facilities, otherwise pay and display with reasonable fees. Outside play park and fields with an athletics track.”

“Always clean. Always friendly. Staff are amazingly healthy. Do Aqua on Friday with Nadynne. She's a bottle of pop and a great instructor.. Tai Chi with Debbie on a Tuesday. She is great. Full of patience. Knowledge unbound. Puts it across easily to understand. Have George once a week for motivation. He is very good. Patient. Pushes you just enough and guides you through training.”

“Went there today with our 3 year old and 11month old and absolutely loved it! Spent most of the time in the splash zone with the water fountains as it was the warmest place and the youngest could crawl around in the shallow water. The big pool was also good as it is like the ‘shallow end’ the whole way across, but it was a little on the cold side for the baby. Wasn’t too busy but we have just squeezed in before school holidays started : ). Didn’t venture in to the outside sections as it seems more for older kids. Good value for money in my opinion, will hopefully come back one day”

“Excellent tuition as ever. The children look forward to this every week. The girls are thrilled to be swimming in the squad sessions at Wave 8 now.”

“Staff are always really friendly. Pool is great for little ones as you can just walk in so helps improve their confidence entering the water at their own pace.”

“Been here a few times when visiting family. Overall swimming with the kids is great fun. Never used any of the gym facilities so can't comment there. It's a great place to book kids birthday parties as they have a bouncy castle for the kids. Best to book a couple of months in advance as it's particularly popular. Only one gripe I have is their tea at reception tastes awful - tasted like a mix of coffee and tea so maybe avoid that. But overall it's a great place for swimming and kids birthday parties”

“Excellent front of house staff, very helpful. Will call someone to help you if needed. The personal trainers and leisure staff are also extremely friendly and helpful. The equipment is very good and with up to date and brand new spinning bikes in their own dedicated studio. The pool is a lovely experience as it’s kept at an ambient temp, nice to get into and not to warm. Unfortunately the health suit has been on and off lately. Is closed atm due to vandalism and other issues. Cleaning might be an issue to some, as this is a well used building, with all ages in groups and clubs, not always being at their best. Plenty of in-house classes for everyone and all abilities. All in all great value for money and welcoming place to spend your time for more than a couple of days a week.”
