Public pools 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.”

“Enjoy your walking at lunch time or running at morning or just breathing all day.”

“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 park bear my home but please eveeybody keep clean and nice”

“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”

“Went here for my Covid booster vaccine. Very well run. Easily accessible by public transport. Can catch a number of buses from Blackwood bus interchange including the 151 which stop just outside the old council offices then it a short walk up the hill and the leisure centre is on the first right. The site is run down as it the old iswlyn high school but can't let that rule the positives of the main reason of the visit here today.”

“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 .”

“Fun place to take my grandchildren, a small playground section for the 4 year old & football pitches for them to play football - practising goal shots on many occassions”

“Visited again today to attend the art exhibition. A nice open area for exhibits. There were a range of paintings, sculptures, prints, photographs and prints on display. We spent about half an hour looking at the art. There is wheelchair access, cafe, street parking nearby, public toilets and a bar available. A great venue located in Weston-super-Mare sea front. Currently being used as an ice scape over Christmas and new year. It is also used for a number of other events including a fairground, music events, art and much more. There is a cafe open all year around at the entrance, disabled access, toilets and street parking (payable to council ) at front of property.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The burt Reynolds looking bloke behind the counter gives cracking service”

“Grew up having swimming lessons at this leisure centre, attending life saving classes, swimming with school, and even had a birthday party here as a child. Always had good experiences, staff have always been nice, and still enjoy swimming here from time to time.”

“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.”
