Outdoor pool in Welling

“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.”

“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.”

“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 have been visiting the Cheam centre for the last 3 months as part of a group working on "Joint Pain Management" and have been extremely pleased with our health coach Steven who has provided me and the group, not only with excellent coaching to improve our fitness with the aim of reducing pain and becoming more active, it has also provided us with logical and much welcomed ideas to make small changes on our day to day activities that are really making a big difference to me and others on the group. The staff at the Cheam center I have met are also very welcoming and friendly and the various exercise machines I have used are very good and simple to use. Would strongly recommend the Cheam centre and Steven to anyone that wants to better manage their joint pain and to also become fitter and healthier.”

“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.”

“Beautiful school! Went for a concert ran by the music department. The staff were very kind to the adults and children with disabilities invited to the event”

“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.”

“It was very beautiful been there with my wife”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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!”

“You can stop here for a sit down by the water and enjoy the scenery. It's very calm here. On a sunny day can definitely spend some time here with a coffee and read a book or sit down with a friend and chat a while.”

“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!”

“Great location, very good amenities, the team from Long & Waterson has been very efficient, special thanks to Flora, Immanuel, Moran.”

“All 3 of my girls have swam at Sutton and Cheam and we are very proud to be apart of such a wonderful club. My eldest still swims for the club. It's like being apart of a family. She swims at county level and that is down to all the excellent coaching she has received over the years.”
