Strode Swimming & Fitness

Updated.Been again resently the small pool was roasting hot! A little too hot for my little one but once she got. Used to it she was OK the down side to this was when she got out she got cold quickly. Still good place to go!Great place to take small babies. Lifeguards are great and thoughtful. All staff are nice lovely and warm. Only down side is they need another baby seat but great place.

Lovely warm shallow pool for young children, and the main pool is cooler and deeper but they don't allow it to get to full of people.

Friendly staff, pool and area are kept spotless

Positives: spacious (full size) adult poolplus separate kids’ one. Large changing rooms. Usually ample lane swimming available. Free variations behind building. Area w tables & chairs for waiting looking into kids’ pool.Negatives:Staff not well trained in courtesy! Quite expensive (£6.20) for one swim. THEY DO NOT TAKE CASH. Or provide change for lockers. Take a pound coin (or similar size token) with you or you’ll have to buy one for £2.Changing rooms don’t have many cubicles. Showers often cold. Toilets don’t seem to be cleaned often.Overall: it’s fine if you don’t expect anything too grand!

Terrible place, the lady with grey hair and glasses seems to get irritated when asked a question. The facilities aren't good, gross changing rooms with a weird smell and the gym has had a bucket with water dripping from a pipe for the last 4 months, yellow streaks down the wall and stiff equipment that you cant use properly. You would think that with all the people paying £36 a month they would do something about this but they don't, avoid at all costs.

A complete waste of money. I signed up online and went to have a try and look round. Found out you need to book to go for a swim which is a pain to say the least. Staff do not explain policies properly, I was not informed about cancelling online let alone for them to take another months payment from me. I cancelled within 2 weeks of joining having been once. There’s no refund or explaination, staff do not call back or try to help. Charging me over £120 for going once is just unbelievable. Do Not make this mistake.

Broken lockers, no keys or wristbands. Old and run down I bought a sauna which was very hot. NO COLD SHOWER. No cold drinking water. Fountain “under maintenance”. Manager said she’d send me a credit to another leisure centre. Lifeguard eventually found a cold shower in the disabled. When I asked at receptionAbout my complimentary sauna was told it had been removed because I didn’t leave the facility immediately. That’s no way to treat customers! NOT IMPRESSED

Clean pool.Our boy is having lessons with Harry and he is getting on so much better than his previous teacher in Wells.

Lovely swim, as always. But even more special today as it was my grandsons first swim. Very helpful and friendly staff.
