Aston-cum-Aughton Leisure Centre

Good availability of slots .

Been coming to my kids swimmings lessons here for around 5 years. Parking has got worse especially through term times, even though it got extended. The higher up the levels your child gets they seem to have on less classes. My oldest is in level 8 and this has proven very hard as they hardly do any classes for this stage and the teacher she had at first looked like he couldn’t be bothered on his phone and was constantly just telling them to do laps. Not the best. Luckily the teacher has now been changed. Changing rooms is so full people leave their clothes in the changing blocks rather than in the lockers, so then you struggle to get changed as there’s no space. There’s no where to watch your child once they go into the big pool unless you stand around a tiny window in the changing room with 3 other people. If you manage to get a space inside when they are in the small pool it’s good, if not there’s tables behind the window but you can’t see you child as you’ve just got a load of people’s backs and heads who managed to get a space sat inside. I’ve been coming here for this long for the convenience that’s it’s the closest one to my home not for any other reason.

Absolutely freezing today. Not enjoyable at all. Guess I'll be looking for a warmer pool. Talked the girl on desk she said she'll speak to manager. Not sure how that helps us.

Not good I signed up at graves centre and the first time I used aughton I got slapped with a parking ticket....Checked the website before going and says free parkingOn discovering the ticket I found this in behind reception.... This is very unclear from what I read it's rules from the 1st of Feb 2020

Lovely clean pool and the rest of the building.Great classes yoga pilates and body balance.....great classes for ongoing physio

My son and I came for a swimming session on Sunday the 14th May. I had called ahead of time to check the training pool was a good temperature as my son doesn't like it too cold.The receptionist was very helpful even telling me what degrees Celsius the pool would be.As it was my first visit, I was given a parking permit to fill in and display in my car window. This was a lovely touch as I wasn't aware of the parking restrictions and the car park is much safer than the busy road the leisure centre is situation off.Inside, the centre looked and smelled very clean. The toilets were fresh and well stocked with toilet paper and soap. The communal changing cubicles were spotless and very pleasant to use. There are also ample lockers of various sizes which just require a £1 to lock up and keep all your belongings safe whilst you swim.When we entered the main pool, there are showers before you enter and a balcony where you can put your towels if you prefer them by the pool for immediate access after your swim.It was lovely to see a multitude of toys, floats and buoyancy aids in and around the teaching pool. My son took great pleasure in collecting all the toys and playing with them whilst in the pool and he said this sports centre is his favourite so far!When we left, at least 3 team members were vigorously scrubbing down the floors, lockers and walls with soapy water and you could tell that they took pride in their leisure centre and want it looking at its best.WELL DONE to all the team at Aston-cum-Aughton. My son and I will be back very soon, of that I have no doubt!!

Our kids had swimming lessons here for quite a while. Very good teachers. Good scoring system we could view at home so as we know what the kids needed to work on when we took them swimming. Nice cafe too.

Took our 4 month old for her first swim today in the training pool.Plenty of parking although looked like it was getting full after 3pm when we were leaving.Easy to book, friendly staff.Changing rooms were lovely and clean with family change cubicle available.Lockers were £1Training pool is warmed with proper steps to access the pool.Brilliant cheap family activity!!

I chose this gym for the swimming lessons, which were great, however, I chose to cancel my membership in winter with the intention to continue my lessons sometime in summer when I finished studying, due to affordability issues.When I cancelled, I received no confirmation of my cancellation.I was then charged for 2 consecutive months, after which I called to cancel yet again and it was finally properly cancelled, with an email to confirm.I informed the gym of the issue and was told management would be in touch to arrange a refund- nobody got in touch. I called back multiple times (I'm talking 5+ times) until finally someone called at a time which was not convenient and they said they would call back at a later, set time in the day. Nothing happened.Staff also told me to contact the company which organizes refunds directly (which I don't believe should be my job to do considering the mistake is on your behalf). The company told me I had been wrongly informed, and they required management to contact them- of course.I am then told (after numerous other attempts) that because there is no proof" of cancellation

Great clean leisure center. The gym is fairly small but has enough for the community it serves. Frequent classes and a pool with several lanes. Only downside is the lack of a sauna or steam room. Prices are very fair.
