Harborough Leisure Centre

Pool was fine. Pleasant temperature, not too busy and enough lane space. Changing rooms another story. Chewing gum stuck all over cubicles. Floors filthy. Clogs of hair in drains and not cleaned away. Smears on cubicle doors that look very unsanitary. Made me feel disgusting getting changed after swim. Needs a revamp and for staff to care about cleanliness.

Depends on your expectations and what you’re looking for, but for a pool of this age (80/90’s with little investment) and for the price I think it’s great for young kids. All seem to be having a great time at family sessions. Anyway, reason for the review was to just mention Dillon who is one of the life guard staff. He was really supportive and helpful to my child who has special needs. Thanks Dillon!

I have to use the swimming pool for both my kids swimming lessons the swimming teachers are amazing but the pool and changing areas are so dirty and disgusting that it makes me feel sick. I have had to change my daughter in the toilets just to find a cleaner area for her to stand. I have raised this twice to staff on different days, once I got told they don't have enough staff on to clean and once they just shrugged their shoulders. The floors are so dirty covered in mud dirt and clumps of hair there isn't anywhere you can walk in bare feet. Really disappointing because the people teaching at the pool are great it's the only reason I haven't cancelled the lessons yet.

The swimming lessons have really improved in recent years. The changing rooms are terrible though. The floors are always filthy and there’s no drains along the cubicles for excess water. Plus, no underfloor heating so the floor is always wet and mucky. Corby always seems infinitely cleaner, probably because they have the drains and a warmer floor. If you’re looking for kids lessons try to book in with Julie or Nic. They’re fantastic teachers.

DIRTY! Spinning room is appalling nobody wants to be breathing in dust, fly and bug excrement while exercising? 2 weeks ago I brought to their attention only to return today and find that nothing at all had changed! I was met my an argumentative lady claiming to be the owner of the gym, later turned out to be just a gym worker who made excuses about its condition and even went as far a scratching the dead flies off the big screen with the sleeve of her jumper, spitting on her finger and scratching away with her fingernail. I was appalled by the lack of respect, decorum and customer service. I would not be surprised if Health and safety were to visit anytime soon!

Friendly and helpful staff! … but the changing rooms were dirty and needed a deep clean. Black mould could be seen all over, hadn’t been cleaned properly for some time. Didn’t feel pleasant! Image to demonstrate, worse in places!

We go to the swimming pool when I'm up to visit my mum and the kids LOVE it. Sincerely- it's such a great pool. I live in London and there are few pools like this. Lots of bad reviews about the changing rooms which I think could be cleaner but are fairly standard for the number of ppl coming through. Didn't Interact much with staff so can't comment on that side. Just love facilities!

Poor swimming facilities especially given the expensive price. Nothing is ever clean, men/female showers are never open, the communal showers are regularly cold and don't stay on for more than 1 second. The whole place needs a revamp, avoid. Harborough needs a good pool.

Had a birthday party here and hired out the pool. The children had a great time and we were also allowed to use the cafe area for our food.Many thanks to the staff
