Market Drayton Swimming & Fitness Centre

Cancelled membership, got email confirmation that my membership had been cancelled, next receive threat of debt collection agency.Never answer the phone, changing rooms are disgustingAvoid !

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE FOR SWIMMING LESSONS - they constantly cancel the lessons and do not give you your money back for them!! I have now had 6 lessons cancelled, and they expected me to use the “credit” they put on my account in the shop - £45 is a lot to spend on ice creams and over expensive swimwear/goggles!! Complete joke!!!

We waited patiently through the pandemic for our child to enjoy swimming lessons at his local pool, how disappointed we were.The childrens pool is freezing and completely unsuitable, my boy would shiver, cry and his lips would turn blue.When we complained, several times, we were just told a multitude of excuses from 'it's not working this week' or 'it's within normal range'.It's not normal for a child's lips to turn blue in a supposedly heated swimming pool!And to top it all off when we stopped our lessons and direct debit we were threatened with court action to pay a bill for a time period after we cancelled.Terrible, terrible place, go Nantwich instead

Awful gym, air con wasn’t on so all working out in one sweaty room with machines that are rusty and old. Limited pins for weights for the machines and missing equipment so can’t do full workout. Body trax machine doesn’t work (tried 4 times). It’s like the gym hasn’t been invested in for 10 years. Paid £8.25 for one session. Over priced for a limited very basic gym.

Pool is always clean and feels about the right temperature for lane swimming (50 Yr old male).06.30 opening works well for training before work. Showers are good and always warm (would be nice to have some where you can vary the temp for a colder one to finish)I've given it four stars because I'm sure there are private gyms with more expensive facilities but it's perfectly adequate for a municipal club and annual membership is good value if you go once a week or more.Covid restrictions limiting sessions to 45mins have now been lifted.

Came for a swim for 2 adults on a Saturday afternoon for lane swimmingFriendly staff, clean and well appointed facilities. Clean pool and good temperature. Not too busy.A little pricey at £6.25 each but if that's the cost of keeping it open then so be it!

Poor swimming pool with little to no effort put in a lack of communication and real effort. Disorganised and no real team leader.. coaches are quite and awkward,spoilt members with bad personalities if they don't like you mummy will get you kicked off honestly find somewhere else if you ate serious about swimming,it's not good at all..they make no effort and do the same stuff day after day, such a shame..wish I could get the chance to make something of the team..I'd get them committed and engaged as a team and individually.. everyone getting chance to excel and shine by working on weaknesses and areas that could do with improving and making it second nature :)

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Changing room facilities brilliant nice and clean. Went with my 17mnth old nephew. Nice baby changing cubicles. Used the small pool water nice and warm. We had a wonderful time will definitely be returning and will be recommend to family and friends. A lovely swimming centre.

I learnt to swim in this pool, attended school swimming lessons here, spent all my summers as a teenager in the beautiful outdoor pool/grounds and went on to swim for my county... unfortunately I will be attending a different pool in future. The facilities are still ok, occasionally rather dirty and smelly but understandable with staff shortages. Sadly there is one employee that really lets the center down. On arrival to the pool, she can often be heard gossiping about customers and fellow employees. I find this upsetting at a time when staff are undervalued and customers crucial in these difficult financial times. It can be heard in the changing rooms and really creates a hostile environment and unpleasant way to start the morning. I often arrive at the later end of a session as it's quieter and I am currently in sprint training where I need use of a lane (which are often overcrowded) for 15-20 mins and then I am done. Unfortunately on multiple occasions this has been made impossible as this same employee has persistently told me I cannot enter the pool late in a session. There are very few sessions I can attend at the pool due to work/life commitments and even fewer are available due to the strict timetable for public/ lane sessions. I can't see anything in the terms and conditions online about when you can and can't enter the pool within a session. I am not a confrontational person and often feel as though I am being interrogated upon arrival by this one employee who seems to be obsessed with following a rule book nobody else has access to. It is this overly controlling nature and the toxic gossiping first thing in the morning that will keep me from attending the pool again after 30 years.
