Outdoor pool in Welling

“My husband and I recently joined the ‘Get Active’ membership aimed at over 65 year olds. We started with a pickleball course and now play regularly in the socials.which are great fun. I also attended the magic ring class with Steph and the Yoga with Victoria J . Both are excellent instructors. There are lots of activities included in this membership, there is something for everyone.”

“The gym staff here are outstanding. I would like to single out Ula in particular who, after I injured my knee, put me on a special programme. Weeks later I attended a physio at the hospital who said I was on the road to recovery. Full marks to her. Pity about the state of the pool.”

“I think the classes are really good. All the coaches are very professional and very dynamic. I absolutely love the spin classes. I have been to many other providers in London and these spin classes are the best in my opinion. I like that the atmosphere is so supportive between members too, it just feels good to be in those classes. Maybe the gym area is a bit small, I do not use the changing rooms as I live nearby. I am yet to go to the swimming pool.”

“Circuit Training Fitness Class with Fabiana on Saturdays is extremely good! She is very professional, kind and supportive, and attentive! The circuit exercises are smart and good. Fabiana put efforts to explain it very well and with kindly manner which in my eyes makes it a good coaching. Also Strength Fitness Class with Albi on Sundays (he also works together with Fabiana on Saturday circuit often) is amazing. He is very kind and knowledgeable. I can approach him and ask any questions and he is so happy to demonstrate, support and teach with training techniques. I’ve already learned a lot because of his and Fabiana’s guidance. I love them! They connect and engage with people and that’s how it should be done. You actually leave the session knowing more and stronger. I recommend classes with them to everyone! Thank you ❤️”

“I took my boy for the soft play session and he loved it, he didn’t want to leave, I wish I knew about this soft play earlier as it’s local & affordable price. There’s so much to keep little ones entertained.”

“I visit the leisure centre week days for a 6:30am class with Janie or Favour and have done for just over a year now. Classes are brilliant and so motivating! Bootcamp, circuits, body conditioning and cycle to name a few. The new facilities are great and it’s perfect for getting it done early. Janie is just amazing! I have Janie to thank for my love of exercise, she is so easy going, friendly and encouraging. Exactly what you need at that time in the morning. Favour is also amazing, he really pushes you out of your comfort zone and makes classes enjoyable.”

“A friend and I only came here (from Hockley, near Southend) to use the showers after having run the Epping Forest 10km. We had been prepared to pay for a day pass, but also wanted to use the swimming pool to make it more worthwhile. However, when we asked at reception, we were informed that there is no swimming pool. We explained what our intention had been, and the lady on reception very kindly allowed us to use their showers free of charge. We were extremely grateful for this as we wanted to stay in Epping for the afternoon as this is where my friend's dad was from, and he had very recently passed away. I've no idea what the rest of the facilities are like, but the showers are great.”

“The 5 stars is for 2 of the swimming teachers in particular - Patryk and Alfie teaching the 4:30 Monday beginners class. Absolutely excellent! They're actively in the pool with the kids, and the attention they give to each individual's ability is brilliant. We're so so pleased with our daughter's progress, (and also the growth in confidence that's come with it). Many MANY thanks to them!”

“Good swimming pool with sauna and steam room. Gets understandably busy during school holidays so best to avoid those times! Plenty of changing cubicles, enough lockers and there are private showers and some hair dryers. Coffee shop has good selection of sandwiches and paninis which staff are happy to heat up. Some swimwear and accessories are available to purchase in the reception area. Plenty of parking.”

“Best gym in the area. Absolutely spoilt for choice with classes and the refurbishment and all new equipment in the gym makes it an outstanding place to train. Manager Adrian and all the lovely staff are really helpful with info and PT sessions. Adrian is a brilliant boxing coach I have loved the new Box12 classes too. The gym is great for everyone between beginners or expert body builders. There’s such a mix of abilities and bodies at the gym I love it.”

“Very helpful Reception staff. Informed me about the 'concession card' for my daughter who has a disability. The card can be used in any Leisure Centre and the carer goes in free.”

“Amazing family swim in the lagoon pool and totem splash pad. Recently visited with our 18 month old who loved it so much. The centre was very clean and modern. £1 returnable for the lockers. The temperature was warm as was the water so she could splash about for a long time and didn't get cold at all. There was free parking also. What an amazing experience well worth travelling to if out of area.”

“I'm a new-ish gym goer and I go here for the gym, treadmill terrace, sometimes the sauna and have used the squash courts a couple of times. Such a great facility for the community. It feels like they care about making it a good space for everyone (they've made a bunch of improvements like updating the layout of the gym, new equipment, bigger soft play area). It feels pretty friendly and welcoming to me. Really rate this leisure centre”

“Finchley Lido Leisure Centre is an excellent place for fitness, relaxation, and family fun. The facilities are always clean and well looked after, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and professional. The swimming pool is spacious, with warm water and plenty of lanes, making it great for both casual swimmers and regular training. The gym offers a wide range of modern equipment, and the atmosphere is welcoming for all fitness levels. I also love the family-friendly areas, which make it easy to enjoy a day out with children. Overall, a fantastic centre that offers great value and a consistently positive experience.”

“A place where you can spend a great time with your young ones. This facility offers a lot of activities for both adult and children which includes swimming training or just a quick dip into the pool with your babies. The pool is also accessible for individuals with special educational needs which is really amazing. The huge slide inside is also worth to try. Just do not forget to bring a coin to access the lockers; you can get your coin back before you leave. Baggy park, vending machine and cafe are also available inside. You might not be able to bring phones or camera to take photo inside.”

“If you want to have a really nice and relaxing massage given by a very experienced therapist. I definitely recommend you Shifa therapy. She does an excellent job. Moreover I had a frozen shoulder and pinched nerve issue and was supposed to go under second surgery in a year. But two sessions of physio therapy with shifa saved me from surgery. Feeling much better . I strongly recommend you to visit shifa therapy.”

“I love my regular swims here with my husband. If you pick swim times carefully never seems overly busy. Sunday one to avoid! Cleanliness ok rather than brilliant but staff try hard. Ladies changing room cold in winter.”

“Rachel is an amazing swim teacher. I’m older and have knee problems, so I was nervous about starting lessons. From day one, she made me feel comfortable and safe in the water. She adjusted every exercise to fit what I could do. She focused on gentle movement and steady progress. She never rushed me but always encouraged me to keep going. Now I move more easily and feel stronger after every session. Rachel’s patience and support have made a huge difference in my confidence and mobility.”

“Swallows Leisure Centre has everything I need – a clean, well-equipped gym, a good variety of classes, and a pool that’s perfect for both fitness and relaxing swims. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is welcoming. A solid choice for keeping active.”

“I attended the BETTER Classes, lead by Jackie who is a friendly approachable instructor. Also has years of experience so can guide you as needed. After a health issue I was losing confidence, but enjoyed the class and regained confidence in myself and what I can do to improve my health and lifestyle. Also others in the group were friendly, non judgmental, and fun.”

“Had my son's 5th birthday party here last weekend and had a ball. Our host Gemma looked after us perfectly and made sure we had everything we needed. The community room and kitchen was clean and tidy - it was perfect for serving food, playing party games and came with soft play items. The surprise highlight was the bouncy castle (more like bouncy obstacle course) upstairs in the sports hall. It was mega and the kids (and some adults) loved it! Highly recommended as a venue for kids birthday parties.”

“I’ve had a great experience at Botwell Green Sports and Leisure Centre thanks to Calum. He’s always friendly, professional, and goes out of his way to help everyone who comes in. Whether it’s answering questions, keeping the facilities running smoothly, or offering assistance with the gym equipment, Calum is always approachable and reliable. It’s clear he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing a positive experience for visitors. His positive attitude and attention to detail make a real difference — the centre always feels well-managed and welcoming when he’s on shift. Overall, Calum is a real asset to Botwell Green Sports and Leisure Centre. Highly recommend his service and the great atmosphere he helps create!”

“The Best place to work out, with plenty of options and well sized pools. The price is really good for that variety. I love it.”

“Great big thank you the team at the centre, in particular the manager (whos name I've forgotten, sorry). We requested at very short notice to hire the fitness studio for a last minute rehearsal. The manager was very nice to deal with, and went the extra mile to accomodate our requests. Even allowed us to use the bigger gym space when we realised our numbers were so many that the studio space was too small. Fantastic experience. Thank you again”

“Very quick 10 min back massage, as we were late, but it was very efficient! Jemma and Gina were amazing! Also I found the Spa Day deal very good. Lunch would give you an option of a dish and a small bottle of Prosecco, also access to the Spa was very good! We enjoyed it everything!”
