South Lake Leisure Centre

Very friendly staff, clean, modern and the most beautiful location. Attending a meeting and the food was plentiful and extremely fresh. This was the best food ever provided at a meeting I’ve attended. Cafe food looked gorgeous too. Kids out on canoes etc from school having fun. Highly recommend a trip here. Photos don’t do it justice as there was no time to walk about - another time…

We went to the learner pool recently on a Sat morning. Very limited swimming times (11.30am-1 window) - fully booked at 11.25am before it even opened so we had to queue a while before getting in. There was no other option for young children at that time as the main pool is 2m deep therefore far too deep as most adults couldn't stand in it, nevermind support and hold up babies or young children. The learner pool is far too cold, so unfortunately, it is useless for babies who can't try moving more to keep warm. My 3 year old said she was cold immediately, clung to me and her lips chattered and went blue. The bottom of the learner pool is tied off for swim lessons. I wouldn't recommend this place anymore for swimming for young families (babies or toddlers). Pity. Needs more family swim times available, or adjust the main pool to be shallow in sections to accommodate younger families, and the water should be much warmer. The learner pool is generally very boring, and occasionally, there's extra out for kids to use (floats, tubes) but not consistently. I don't think we will be back again. Banbridge is better locally for toddlers, etc.

Extremely disappointed with the swimming pool if your looking a swim forget it as there is at least two swimming clubs in everyday which take ALL the lanes leaving approximately 1/8 of the pool for the public even Armagh and Banbridge clubs are using it even though there is a pool in each town/city you won't be told this at reception it's only when you pay and get changed you realise that there's a tiny area for the public in my opinion it's not a public swimming pool seems to me its for swimming clubs. Best to keep your £4.10 and buy a paddling pool more room in it.

Out of my last 5 visits with my children i have managed to get in twice. The first was a techncal diffucutly in the learner pool and the other two were full to capacity. The pool is generally overcrowded and not built for purpose. I wont even bother anymore, I will travel to banbridge where you can use the facilities and avoid disappointed children. A major review needed. Who would have thought closing 3 centres and opening one wasnt going to work...

Had a wonderful treatment here in the spa my daughter and j enjoyed all the facilities here

Pristine leisure centre.So many facilities available including squash, swimming pools, fully equipped gym, basketball and tennis courts.Lovely cafe with lunch and snack items and a good coffee.Service is quick and informative, access cards are easy to use.I highly recommend the spa, especially Sara if you’re looking for a professional back massage.

Gym well equipped, small and large swimming pool. Fitness classes. Perfect to keep the family healthy

Main halls floors were black with dirt and dust havin an activity barefoot was not nice, good gym pool hit and miss as when clubs in get evicted from lanes

Pools are awful, the entire place is far too overcrowded or taken up by classes/clubs. It's clearly not functional for the general public... why ABC closed all those pools to give us this mediocrity is beyond me
