The 30 Best Pools for swimming in Leeds

“My little girl started here after loosing her confidence at another swimming provider and all I can say is Roundhay Swim you are amazing!! Not only has she gained her confidence back but she’s learnt so much whilst attending and is becoming a great soon to be swimmer. The staff and owner, Zoe are brilliant and my little girls loves attending. The groups are small and each child is given the time and tutoring required. I can’t fault this place it’s the best and only negative is I can’t give more than 5 ⭐️ s.” or I would. Swimming is a life skill and this place is worth every penny spent. Thank you Zoe and team your great x Alice and her Mummy x”

“Absolutely love Aqua Baths I wouldn't go anywhere else the lessons are fun and instructive, the tutors are excellent and easy to talk to as well as inclusive the facilities are always clean tidy and excellently maintained and are welcoming not only to use but for parents like myself watching our kids lessons. The price point is also brilliant especially since the class sizes are so small which allows a more personal approach and builds a great trust between teacher and student. If anyone is looking for swimming lessons for themselves or kids or looking for a private hire pool i wholeheartedly recommend ABC swimming”

“Nemo is great - he has extremely high standards and knows the importance of technique. Our 8 year old made more progress with Nemo in 3 months than the 5 years at the previous swim school!”

“Great coaches, staff and a great learning environment for the kids. Always happy to help - certainly recommend”

“My Mini Schnauzer Mouzer had his first appointment today, he is an elderly gentleman and it was absolutely fantastic, the staff were so kind and patient with him, and very thorough and went through everything with us prior to him getting into the pool, went through all his ailments and meds, measured his muscle mass and introduced themselves to him. They explained everything to us and were so calm and encouraging when he was in the pool and took it very slowly with him, even explaining the after care for when he came home and for the next day and asked us to message them to let them know how he is. Cannot recommend Aquapaws enough.”

“I would highly recommend Joel as your swimming instructor. I had no previous experience but a few lessons from Joel gave me the confidence to swim and float in water. He joins in the water, does demos ans never hesitate to repeat steps and clearing doubts. Never regreted about my decision to take the swimming lessons in my 30s with Swim now and I was very lucky to get Joel as my instructor.”

“Wendy is just absolutely amazing. Totally lost for words. So much patience for my grand daughter. I can’t thank Wendy enough. See you next time xxxx”

“Froggy legs is a fantastic swimming school. They have taught both my children to swim. The teachers are kind and caring, making the children feel at ease in the water. It's so easy to book and see the progress using the online portal. Thank you, Susanne, for being so dedicated!”

“Nie ce local swimming pool. Very basic, nothing fancy. The price is reasonable.”

“After years of trying different swimming lessons with my little girl who isn’t the most confident in water… our friend recommend this school and we have seen such a difference in our little girl! Jess her swimming instructor is amazing with her, patient, kind and Nellie loves her.”

“Scott is the trainer of my 5Y boy, honestly I think he is doing great job dealing with all these kids whilst teaching them swimming”

“It was my first time doing aqua aerobics. Loved it. Excellent instructor, friendly and helpful people. Good price, so no luxury but basic showers.”

“Very good members-only Swimming Centre, there is plenty of free parking onside and good facilities inside such as lockers(you will need to bring your own padlock), a pram storage unit, soft mats inside the changing room, private changing units, showers, hairdryers and toilets. The staff are friendly and helpful and the new centre is kept clean and tidy. The Swimming Teachers are amazing and really do engage with everyone. My Baby really enjoys the fun classes and gets excited when she sees the pool. The pool room and water is heated and you can also bring along a plus one to sit and watch through the next room.”

“I joined David Lloyd and started PT sessions with Ana Ava at the same time. Having never joined a gym before, it's been so valuable to have Ana guiding me through and building my confidence. I'm 6 months postpartum an it's only been a month of PT sessions and I already feel such a difference and am lifting heavier than I thought I would. Ana is fab - she's encouraging without being too pushy, genuinely celebrates your wins and adjusts each session to what you need. I'd really recommend her!”

“Jccs tennis centre. Great coaches. Perfect waiting area. Plenty of tennis classes. Great opportunity for kids beginners. Nice and warm inside. A lot of classes for adults. I love this tennis club. Recommend it strongly. Great car parking area.”

“Nice pool, relatively new, It was quiet around midday and we had the pool to ourselves, I forgot my shorts luckily they had some there for sale. There’s a café selling snacks and coffee…”

“Nice little pool with a steam and sauna, perfect for a relaxing day after work! Staff are friendly. Showers works just great, there’s shower gel dispenser if you forgot yours and overall a lovely gym and spa that always makes me feel refreshed after a hard day at work!”

“For my thoughts read the review, not the stars. Pros: my partner felt really comfortable training at this gym, helpful staff, clean, good selection of equipment from techno gym, able to get a really solid workout, spacious, wasn’t overly busy when we trained at around 10 am Sunday morning, spa facilities. The cons which may be a positive to others, not a selection of different brands ie Atlantis/prime etc, for me the gym is a good mix for anyone that trains but doesn’t excel for bodybuilding, strongman but at the same time can get a really good workout.”

“Nice, clean pool. Cheap prices.”

“Booked for my daughter's birthday who is SEN, for family to come and for us to enjoy a private and safe atmosphere for her birthday. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Couldn't do enough for us. Clear instructions before our visit and on site. Everyone had a great time. Everything was clean and tidy. Not the first time we have been before and most certainly will be returning. Thanks again our daughter and family loved it!”

“I have seen a massive improvement since changing to Splash. You have someone encouraging your child, demonstrating, correcting technique. I wish I made the change from council taught to here sooner (money wise it's not much difference)!”

“First lesson today and it looks like it's going to be a long standing relationship”

“My little girls loves the instructors and has really come on since she started.”
