Public pools in Welling

“Great pool can get busy at times and you can never tell when the busy times are unfortunately. Lovely spar with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi fully recommended”

“Really enjoy the fun swim. It's a small quite pool so great for the kids to play and feel secure. There's an hour fun swim sat and sun. Changing rooms are ok and the showers warm.”

“Lovely pool, it is split into a main pool and learner pool so that’s nice for swimmers. Lane and general swim available. My daughter has swimming lessons here and the standard of teaching is high. The kids are pushed enough to be competitive but not so much that it’s negative competition. There are windows down two sides of the pool so when the sun is low you get beautiful dappled light in the water which feels lovely to swim in. One of the most unpretentious swimming pools around! Check it out next time you want a swim!”

“Really friendly staff all around, from in the gym to the receptions to life guards. Facilities have always been clean and car park is usually full when I go, however there are always people coming in and out, I find usually on the hr is when spaces open up, at 11 at 12 at 1 etc.”

“We use the pooll as part of 'Pools Schools' swim club and are really impressed by the facilities There are a couple of small hair dryers and 2 shower cubicles in the girls changing rooms, usually clean and pool is fab!”

“We had a lovely swim. The pool was lovely and warm. Plenty of room to change.”

“I went here for the first time, for some women-only swimming time. I went swimming when I was younger, so I thought it would be a piece of cake. Well, needless to say, I almost drowned. A wonderful lifeguard, quite frankly rescued me, from what otherwise would've been a complete disaster. I am INCREDIBLY grateful to her and the other lifeguard, who taught me a few swimming tips. I will be taking swimming classes, starting next week, but I'd like to give a huge thank you to the staff here- THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️”

“Great local amenity with a 33.3 meter indoor pool (for those with confused fitness trackers) a smaller outdoor pool and teaching pool for kids, it is now kept clean and well maintained considering it is a public pool. The swimming changing facilities have been upgraded, and they offer great showers in a clean area. While the gym is a bit tired, there are plans for renovations and upgrades. The reception staff are friendly and have a great sense of humour, especially considering some of the flak they get from a handful of grumpy visitors. Parking is pricey, so public transport is the best way to go. Simple booking system, so book in advance or phone if you want to be sure to get a swim. Limited spaces which makes it much easier for lane swimming. 250 capacity for swim and stay sessions in outdoor pool, so check weather and book on sunny day.”

“Huge credit to the manager Yusuf and the entire team. The staff are genuinely helpful, respectful, and always trying their best to support members. You can really feel the positive atmosphere they create.”

“Stella’s baby swimming classes are amazing! My wife was scared to take the baby so I joined for the first class and we were both quickly reassured by Stella’s professionalism, gentle pacing for the babies and calm presence. My wife says she comes back from the classes feeling more relaxed and my baby is learning life long essential skills with water. Thank you Stella!”

“Freddie has been swimming with Ariel since April of this year and we could not have been happier. Freddie started as a complete beginner and it blows our minds to see his confidence and skills now, only a few months later! Ariel has been such a gem - caring, patient, fun and always made us feel that Freddie was in safe hands. Thank you, Ariel, for making Freddie's first swimming experience so enjoyable!”

“I’ve been a member of the Muswell Hill Club for a while now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and wellbeing. From the moment you walk through the doors, you’re welcomed with genuine warmth by the reception staff—always friendly, helpful, and professional. A special mention must go to Hussein, the owner, whose passion for the gym and commitment to creating a supportive, well-run environment is clear in everything he does. He’s approachable, flexible, down-to-earth, and genuinely cares about the members’ experience. The trainers are another standout feature of the club. They’re knowledgeable and motivating. I love the aquacise classes run by Angela Enahoro and Anna Borodina, both are different in their methods, but both help me achieve my fitness. They’re truly AA! The facilities are clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need. There’s a real sense of community at the Muswell Hill Club, which makes working out feel more like something to look forward to than a chore. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming and professional gym in North London!”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Shangri-La London. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional. A special thank you to Tyrone, the manager, who was incredibly accommodating and made sure every detail of our visit was perfect. His professionalism and kindness truly elevated our experience. He helped us with upgrading our room making our stay exceptional in Westminster suit. Our suite was stunning…spacious, luxurious, and impeccably clean, with the most breathtaking views of London. Waking up above the city felt magical. The atmosphere, the comfort, and the attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. Highly recommend the Shangri-La London for anyone looking for a memorable and top-tier experience. We can’t wait to come back!”

“Very good facilities and is fun to do swimming and basketball.”

“They provide a nice hardcourt (just a normal wooden basketball or volleyball clue) suitable for indoor frisbee with good air conditioning and heating especially in the winter. The artificial grass and natural grass pitches are well maintained! To finish it off staff are friendly and helpful.”

“Couldn’t imagine a better place to get both the sun and swim at the same time. Walk through reception where I’ll receive my cold beverage to aid me in my swim and during the summer sitting on the side waiting for the ice cream truck to deliver my ice cream. If I want to go enjoy a bit of a quieter environment I’d book for the Sun terrace where you can be away from the pool and enjoy a lovely sun lounge!”

“Great swimming pool, friendly and helpful staff, welcoming, fantastic facilities. My son and I really enjoyed swimming there and definitely will visit again.”

“Great facilities, everything was kept well and very clean. Large spaces to accommodate large events”

“The Maqam Centre is a fantastic hub for wellness, learning, and community. The swimming facilities are spotless and well-organized, and the swimming lessons are exceptional—professional, patient instructors who build confidence in both kids and adults. The yoga and Pilates classes are outstanding. Each session is led by experienced, attentive instructors who create an inclusive and calming environment for all levels. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, you’ll leave every class feeling balanced, stretched, and restored. This isn’t just a centre—it’s a sanctuary for body, mind, and spirit. Highly recommended!”

“Our son started swimming lessons at Poolside Manor just over a year ago. He was 3 and a half and had only been in a swimming pool on holiday, splashing around the baby pool or holding us tight in the big pool. When he started I wasn’t sure he would get in to the swimming pool without a parent with him, but the staff were so lovely to him, giving him the confidence to just walk off and he went straight into the pool without us, while we watched from the parents area. His swimming teacher is Francesca and she is absolutely amazing, we can’t thank her enough. She has pushed him (within his ability) and he can actually swim and is doing far better than I ever imagined one year on. Francesca is encouraging and patient and explains everything to the children in a way that makes his lesson engaging and fun. At the end of each term they have a fun swim session with pool toys and floats which he absolutely loves. The whole team, especially Vicky are wonderful and so lovely to the children. We couldn’t be happier with our son’s progress and that’s mainly down to Francesca. Even the reception team are great, Sharon is wonderful and so accommodating when we had to change swim days. They are all so helpful and the clean changing rooms and spacious car park also help to make for a lovely swim session experience. Thank you Poolside Manor, it’s an amazing swim school and has enabled our son to accomplish an excellent life skill.”

“Wow! This Spa is amazing. Super clean, lovely vibe and lots of different rooms to try. Staff are really helpful and I was made to feel Super welcomed by the wonderful Wafa. Will definitely be going back.”

“I love this place. I have a membership, and it has a huge amount of classes for fitness to choose. The pools are huge indoor and outdoor. Staff are friendly, and fitness teachers are amazing. Better is a great gym, and I would recommend it to everyone. During summer you can use the Lido pool and have yoga, aqua aerobics outside. There is a car parking with lots of spaces. If you are a member of the gym, you can pay a fee of £5 at the staff desk and your Registration will be added to the Council list and you will have up to 4h free in the car park for a year.”

“We rent a volleyball court here regularly. Met manager Delia recently - she’s amazing, super friendly, and always ready to help. Makes our experience even better.”

“Great staff, very accommodating and friendly. Hydropool and main pool could be a bit hotter at times but some people like it cooler so you can't please everyone. Shannon is absolutely brilliant and is on top of everything, the hydropool is always hot when she is around which helps with my back problems, when she is on shift, she is on top of everything and you can count on things to be tip top shape. Never a dull moment.”

“I had my son's swimming party here and it was fantastic. The staff were so helpful and the pool looked amazing with the sensory lights, swim toys and music. We did not feel rushed to leave at the end and were given a huge room for cake and food. Thank you for a great day. I would really recommend this venue.”

“Clean and lovely service. Equipment is great, feel like I will be able to really hit my target goals. Yasmin was super helpful and made me feel welcomed!”
