As a parent of a young athlete
As a parent of a young athlete, I can't speak highly enough of the Link Centre. The facilities are genuinely world class for a local leisure centre. The gym is well equipped and maintained, the ice rink is brilliant, and the swimming pool is always clean and well managed.
What really sets this place apart, though, is the people. The staff clearly care about the members and go above and beyond to support the young athletes who train here. Whether it's a word of encouragement or helping kids push their potential, they've got their heart firmly in the right place.
When the ice rink shut for three weeks for repair work, we had to travel to other rinks and it made us realise just how affordable and how good Swindon's ice rink really is. You don't know what you've got until it's gone!
It's rare to find a facility that balances top notch equipment with such a warm, community focused atmosphere. Swindon is lucky to have the Link Centre. It's making a real difference to the next generation of local talent.
Highly recommend to any family wanting to support their young person in sport.

Hi June,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and thoughtful feedback.
We are delighted to hear how highly you rate the Link Centre and the impact it is having on your family, particularly in supporting your young athlete. It is very encouraging to know that the facilities, including the gym, ice rink and swimming pool, are meeting your expectations and are consistently well maintained.
What is especially meaningful is your recognition of the team. Their commitment to supporting members, and in particular young people developing their sporting potential, is something we are very proud of. Your comments will be shared with them.
We also appreciate your perspective on the recent ice rink closure. It is reassuring to hear that, despite the temporary disruption, it reinforced the value and quality of what is available at the Link Centre.
Thank you again for your recommendation and for recognising the role the centre plays within the community. Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
Warm regards,
Hazal

Thank you
All the staff are always so welcoming, friendly and helpful, the link centre is a great facility to have in Swindon, there is something there for all the family! The whole family love the trampoline park, my sons loves the soft play centre and my daughter who skates multiple times a week absolutely loves the ice rink, in her words ‘The ice rink is excellent!!’ Considering the extensive of the flood three years ago and all the ongoing struggles with the electrics, the staff have done amazing at keeping the facilities open throughout. A big thank you for reopening the ice rink on schedule after the latest closure!

We are very pleased to hear how much you and your family enjoy the range of facilities at the Link Centre, from the trampoline park and soft play to the ice rink. It is especially great to hear how highly your daughter rates the rink.
We also appreciate your recognition of the team. They have worked extremely hard over the past few years, particularly following the challenges caused by the flood and ongoing electrical issues, to keep the centre operating and accessible for the community.

Amazing place
Wow, what can I say. The Link centre is amazing. My daughter learnt to swim here then went on to learn to skate last year. She absolutely loves it there and would be there daily if she could. She now attends figure skating club and has the loveliest ice skating teacher Jan. I have nothing but great things to say about all the amazing staff at the ice rink. We are so lucky to have this great facility on our doorstep.
