Eckington Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre

I haven't been for 20 years, all changed for the better.The gym is spacious and clean, and there is a good amount of equipment to use.Lovely cafe area.Good choice of swim times, changing rooms nice big cubical, floor could do with being washed down regular, slightly dirty, need sliders.Good variety of classes, must book in advance to get the class you want.The staff I have seen so far appear friendly, but I have only been going for a week.

Great swimming pool, friendly staff, clean facilities and a warm pool temperature. Our children really enjoy the family swimming session with floats. There are plenty of large family changing rooms and good sized lockers. The only improvement I could suggest is that the showers run for longer, pressing the button gives about 10 seconds of water.

Lovely place, clean and friendly, staff on hand to help and advise, it's been a while since me and my wife have been to a pool but we both felt comfortable and have now joined with a view to making it part of our weekly routine.

Love this pool, friendly staff. Just wish the temp of the pool and showers stayed the same. My OH always thinks the pool is cold.

Excellent place. Perfect for family swimming.Staff are amazing.

Great swimming session with 4 year old granddaughter Shallow end roped off for the little ones floats supplied. The rest left for lane swimming. Clean and large changing room cubicles Good coffee afterwards in the cafe with a soft play area

My daughter had been attending swimming lessons for 2 years. Had no choice but to pull her out due to the swim teacher having no control whatsoever my daughter then didn’t progress anymore. Claire was lovely the first years teacher. The second teacher Meg who didn’t help to improve at all so changed her teacher even though I didn’t want a 3rd (all that change when school starting also I didn’t want but felt needed. Fast forward to her new teacher Libby. Her first lesson with her my daughter was put on a time out! Never before and I was told she “just doesn’t listen and that’s why she will have been dragged around in previous lessons” I felt this was personal and my poor 4 year old was made to cry and feel left out. This was all told to me in a defensive manner while Meg was smiling at me. Very rude and unprofessional. Very disappointed. Will be contacting the council soon as I haven’t received a response, reply or refund offer for that month.

Decent pool, not as warm as the water could be, very deep at the deep end as used for diving practice and hosts a swimming club. Changing room floors notorious for being slippery - if you have a fall make sure it's recorded. That's what the 4 not 5 stars Aquafit is fun and my nephew's enjoy their swimming lessons. Decent little cafe, some swimming essentials available to buy and vending machines easy to use.
