Public pools in Norwich

“WOW !! Absolutely loved it !! The pool, showers and whole building is exceptionally clean. Water was lovely and warm. And the steps leading into the pool allowed my husband (who had sciatica) easy access into the pool to excersize. Anyone thinking of going you definitely will not be disappointed. I have just booked our next swim one of many more..”

“We have been swimming at wentworth pool for years. It’s definitely the best private pool we’ve been to. The size of the pool is amazing and the shower and changing facilities are great! Naomi has always been very helpful. Would definitely recommend.”

“Great pool to hire, clean, baby friendly, warm, changing facilities and showers”

“Lovely, calm atmosphere. Clean and well organised. We enjoyed our time in the pool very much and will be back.”

“We went for our first session at the rejuvenated Anchorage yesterday and were very happy to see the huge, positive changes that have been made under the new management. The whole building is clean, fresh and, at long last, cared for. Natalie has already shown that she is intent on treating her customers with understanding and respect, providing facilities that are both welcoming and relaxing. Swimming has become a real pleasure again and an event to look forward to.”

“Very nice, quiet and relaxed. The pool is a decent size for getting a few lengths in or just relaxing. Good for the kids as well”

“Took out this pool for my family during our vacation, was amazing experience. Clean- kid friendly and the extra bonus of the hot tub Enough showers for everyone to get ready. Well looked after!”

“Lovely pool in a great location. Parking is easy and the pool temperature is just right. The only issue i had was the cleanliness of the shower. Otherwise good value for money. Great for couples and families alike”

“Just started as a regular swimmer- lovely, clean facilities. The 1.20m deep pool is warm and relaxing- encouraging for folk who haven’t swam for a while (a bit rusty!). Changing rooms are large and generally group/family shared. Great fun having the pool to ourselves.”

“My Gt Grandaughter and Grandson go here, grandson almost 12 years now. Julie is amazing, they learn so fast and in such a fun way they don't realise. She is calm patient, not only a swimming teacher but she goes into ,brain function, Co ordination issues, offers exercises to do at home to help any issues. Incredible.”

“A lovely swimming pool. Parking outside the door. The pool water is lovely and warm ...very clean. There are changing rooms and free lockers. There is a small children's paddling pool separate from the large pool. The deep end is 1.8 mtrs. The pool closed on the 4th Nov for maintenance until March 2025. Cost is £5.50 per adult for as long as you like. It's well worth a visit.”

“A lovely pool that we have helped to keep in top condition over the years. Well maintained with great facilities, this is a perfect place to spend some time relaxing, exercising or having fun.”

“This five star review is for all the staff - management, cleaners, lifeguards and receptionists. Every contact is friendly and professional, from the moment you enter to the moment you leave. We take our daughter swimming frequently, and on this one particular occasion, she was struggling after a hard day at school. Jane took the time to come over and see if she was alright. She was so empathic and kind. We feel lucky to have such an excellent gym with lovely staff on our doorstep. Thank you.”

“Overall one of the best health clubs in Norwich. Great facilities, top gym equipment, nice pool area. Management of the club has definitely improved, maintenance issues are now dealt with quickly. Staff very friendly, Abbie in sales was very helpful. Only issue seems to be short staffing at weekends in Kitchen/Bar.”

“Pleasant facilities in peaceful surroundings.”

“Great pool and snugglingly warm on a cold day.”

“I have been here with my non speaking autistic great nephew recently and had no issues at all. Greeted by the owner, shown around and when we left asked if we had had a nice time. We had a great time knowing we could supervise him without any other distractions you get with a public pool. We have booked to go again.”

“Che looks after the entire pool area, sauna, steam room, changing rooms, and do all the chemical tests. It is always clean and organised! Thanks Che!”

“Fabulous pool, pristine and toasty warm. Perfect for swimming laps or aquarobics. And you have it all to yourself, what more could you want?”

“Great pool with a relaxing view Highly recommend”

“Both of my boys have been swimming with Smart Swim since they were babies. They absolutely love coming swimming, as do I! The teachers and poolside staff are all fantastic. They are very kind and knowledgeable and always on hand to help. The pool is always warm and everywhere spotlessly clean. For after school sessions, the adult to child ratio level is brilliant meaning that children are fully supported and make great progress. We have also made use of the intensive swim week in the summer holidays which was amazing. Our son made huge progress and gained so much confidence. Thank you Julia and your wonderful team. X”
