Pools for swimming in Northampton

“We’ve absolutely loved our experience with Little Turtle Swim Company so far. Claire is so calm, in tune and incredibly patient with both parents and babies who are new to the pool. The groups are small and intimate, so it genuinely feels like a 1:2:1 swimming class, which has made a huge difference to our confidence in the water. I also really appreciate how supported we’ve felt before even getting in the pool. Little swimmers can start from as early as 6 weeks, and Zara is always at hand to chat through what you need for the sessions. All the information is clearly laid out in the confirmation emails once you’ve booked, but she’s still happy to talk through any worries and even send links to swimwear tailored to your baby’s specific needs. The classes run in 6-week blocks and have become a lovely weekly routine for us. The focus is very much on helping newborns and parents feel relaxed and comfortable in the water, while gently encouraging floatation, rotation, propulsion and immersion through sensory play. You can really see how it all builds towards the babies becoming confident little swimmers over time, rather than rushing anything. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Little Turtle Swim Company to any new parent looking for a supportive, nurturing and confidence-building start to swimming.”

“I booked this company to come out and re-connect and refill my hot tub after a winter shut down. They did not disappoint. They managed to get me an earlier slot than previously stated. They were prompt and professional on the job and left my hot tub and surrounding areas in a clean and tidy manner. I would highly recommend this company and will be booking them again. Thank you Panache Pools.”

“My three labs love coming for play days, my two older Labradors have been coming to Scooby's for 10 years and they still get excited when we pull up outside”

“I love coming here, I just wish I had the time to attend more often. Fantastic place where the lifeguards are able to concentrate on their swimmers without extra watching visitors being a distraction. The swim times are timed, so if I am booked at 5pm, I am ready to go at 5pm. The slot is for 1 hour, so the lifeguard gets a 15 minute break before the 6.15 slot starts. This is to welcome the lucky new swimmers, handover to other lifeguards, or maybe take a break. Please bear this in mind, as people giving poor reviews because of their incorrect assumptions is not ok. Time of year is crucial in understanding how long it is safe to swim #ruddycold This is definitely the happy place of many people, with more being welcomed every day. 5 stars for location and service.”

“Great firm . Owner is very professional but listens to what his customers want and advised if it possible . Work was carried out in a professional way and they cleaned up after themselves . Would definitely recommend JB Elite services. The follow up service was amazing”

“Great family, fun, good place to spend a few hours, with good facilities.”

“On a hot day this facility is a god send. I checked other outdoor pools and they were pre book only, all were fully booked. Banbury is first come first serve, you turn up at the time (get there early) and you get in. Very well organised, 4 very vigilant life guards, beautiful and enormous pool.”

“My daughter attended a party held here. The staff were extremely helpful, as we had arrived early and didn't recognise anyone who was swimming at the time. The grounds were beautiful and I would recommend this place with its outdoor swimming pool, especially to families. It's a brilliant vibe with plenty to do.”

“Kids love their lessons!!! Highly recommend Matt and the team . Friendly with structured lessons that have improved my kids swimming techniques and confidence. FAB”

“Absolutely fantastic facilities and even better teachers! Our son has flourished here, becoming so much more confident and happy in the water. Finding The Pool Skool has genuinely been a game changer for him and his relationship with swimming. 100% recommend”

“My son has been having swimming lessons since he was 3 and always hated them. It's always been such a battle to get him to lessons, he has had lessons in a few different places. I recently booked a short course of lessons with George after finding out about Pool Stars. My son was resisting getting in the pool, George noticed and called his name, and quickly built rapport with him. For the first time ever my son came out the pool with a smile on his face, telling me the lesson went well and he 'even had fun'. The opposite of any other lessons he has ever had. I wish Pool Stars was around when he was younger, he would have a very different association with the pool. I can't recommend Pool stars enough for building confidence in the water.”

“Absolutely wonderful place ,dedicated amazing teachers ,worth every penny ,my son has been attending this place for two years and was incredibly nervous in the water to watch him swim now is a joy thank you hilltop”

“Zoe and the team are a fantastic group of teachers, the firm but fun approach is just what my son needs, although he has always been water confident he has struggled to get to grips with learning to swim.... until he joined water wizards!!! His ability has much improved along with his confidence, technique and his understanding of water safety he thoroughly enjoys his lessons and I would highly recommend.”

“Pro-active, considerate (for those of us still new to the pool game), knowledgeable and professional. I have absolute faith and trust in everyone I have come across at Blue Cube. I would recommend them wholeheartedly.”

“This is a really good gym. They have a 24-hr day pass for £10. Perfect for the weary traveler who needs shelter from the cold. I came to Northhampton in the morning, and couldn't check in into my hotel until 3pm. Fitneds4Less has a good sized pool for lapping. A small jacuzzi just to warm my your bones. Gym equipment are well organized. The group exercise I attended was unique and the trainer was very good at motivating her class. Gym instructors were friendly.”

“A fantastic gym and pool, great atmosphere and friendly people. Special shout out to life guard John, he’s the friendliest and most helpful person, even helping me in the gym and pushing me. He adds a sparkle to the place!”

“Great pool. Easy to access. And very clean. I would recommend fixing some of the chairs in the spectators area as cracked and maybe a grab rail as stairs are steep.”

“Held our 8 year old granddaughters birthday party. Our granddaughter is disabled, Fiona is so helpful and wanted to ensure she had a good time. This is our 2nd birthday party hete. Lovely garden area for serving food and drinks. Lots of floats in the pool, and changing rooms with heated flooring.”

“My grandaughter swam a length of the pool after only ll lessons with amazing teacher,had been at another,swimming class for over a year and had not learned to swim.”

“A great small pool with staff dedicated to getting your child comfortable and confident in the water.”

“Great for kids to cool down on a hot day”

“brilliant facility’s. gym has everything you need and more. swimming pool, sauna and steam room are excellent. changing rooms have a lot of space. brilliant overall and very clean. staff are kind respectful and helpful. defo worth it!”

“I have been doing adult swim lessons for the past year and my swim teacher Finn has been an absolute legend. I was so afraid of water but he immediately put me at ease and now I am able to swim with confidence. He has taught me a lot and I have recommended the centre to friends. Also to add that the changing rooms are always clean.”

“We are recent converts to adult swim and find the facilities and ambience are first class. From easy parking to comfortable and simple changing facilities and its a fabulous and comfortable pool. Staff are polite and helpful, and the whole experience is excellent. We look forward to our visits and have not been disappointed.”

“A fine 33 1/3 yards pool ideal for swimming as it is both longer and deeper than modern 25m leisure pools.”

“Had a lovely day with my grandchildren today. Everywhere is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and professional even during very busy times. Plenty of parking with an overflow car park provided across the road.”

“Good pool for swim. Changing rooms are clean and tidy, staff friendly and helpful. The pool was not very busy on Saturday morning”
