Craven Leisure Centre

Me and my friends had a fun session here, managing to get an hour of swimming on a cheap offer! The counter is well-presented with friendly staff, leading to the pool area across multiple mats where lockers are accessible to keep belongings safe. The pool is large and very deep, accompanied by a burning hot sauna and a steam room!

I am a regular user of the swimming pool. Today the carpark was very busy, although it also services Aireville park and the other facilities within the complex, Yoga, Spinning classes and fully kitted out gym, there is also a cafe onsite. The main pool was good, there is also a kids pool so it keeps a lot of younger children seperate, from the people like me who just want to do lengths. The showers are good and powerful the cubicles are cleaned on a regular basis as are the alleyways. There are always several gaurds on duty for safety and crowd control. Look at the website for specific time slots, i prefer the general swims, i find the lane swims a bit busy. Keep up the good work guys, it is a good general leisure facility.

Came here today for a swim with my friend, her child and my younger brother. Although the interior is nice, clean, changing rooms were clean etc, we got in and was not allowed to use the baby pool (wasn’t told this on entry) as they had lessons on. This is fine but I think staff should be making people aware of this as they would have been able to play with the toys/floats etc and use all the pool facilities. If come here with young children for an open swim just make sure you ask if there’s any lessons on as I feel like it was a total waste of money and facilities. Staff could have maybe apologised and gave us a couple toys to play with at least as I felt as though he was abrupt and made me feel bad for attempting to go in there. Just be mindful of this if you come here:)

Great day out for us all at Raven. Mac was excellent as our guide up in the trees. Would highly recommend

Lovely facilities and staff, cafe was good too.

Great local leisure centre. Well equipped gym, clean pool area, as are all the facilities.Plus a cafe that opens onto the park.

Really disappointed to see the state of the cafe today. Uncleared tables, litter on the floor, messy in the kitchen. This cafe could be on to a great thing with how well used the leisure centre is and the park with families and dog walkers but the poor quality is off putting. It wouldn’t take much to turn this round.

It's a bit of a shame, the changing rooms are run down with lockers taped up. The family changing rooms stank of dirty nappies and the pool was cold to get in with a very strong salty taste to it were talking ocean levels of salt that was a bit surprising. As I said, it's a shame, as the play ground park outside is lovely for kids!
