Had a fantastic aqua session today with Kim, she was really knowledgable, and professional, both at the start of the class and the end. And even laughed when the music made us all do YMCA. Lots of fun. Would love to see her back at the centre for more sessions.

Wonderful kind staff member!
I travel down from Torbay to take my 6 year old grandson(who lives in Plymouth) swimming every 2 to 3 weeks. I love this place for swimming as it’s so good for children. The cafe is great and all the staff are always very friendly.
Today after changing for swimming I realised I had no towels!!! I asked reception if there were any that I could buy or an alternative that they could suggest when another member of staff (young man with curly hair) who I presume was just coming in to start his shift left and came back with 2 of his own clean towels for us. He really did go above and beyond for us and I can only say a really great big thank you. - you saved the day! What a wonderful kind young man and a credit to your organisation.

I joined in person at my local leisure centre . Somehow they managed to register me under 2 memberships numbers .
They have suspended my account because they are asking for my blue light card ( I already showed this at the centre) I downloaded the app which tries to charge me ( I have a monthly membership.)
I emailed 2 days ago to ask them to sort it out .Still no response .
So far gave a lot of money for something I’ve beed unable to use !

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration this situation has caused. It’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.
I understand how concerning it must be to have your account suspended, especially when you've already shown your Blue Light Card and have an active membership. Are you please able to clarify the ticket number to the email you sent to us so I can locate this and assist you with reactivating your membership?
We appreciate your patience and look forward to getting this sorted for you so you can enjoy your membership without any further inconvenience.
Best regards,
Charmaine
Pre school swimming lessons
We have recently enrolled in the preschool swimming lessons (age3-5) where parents are not expected to join in the water. We were a little anxious at first, with our not so confident toddler, but needn’t have been. The swimming coaches have been brilliant and the group is small is nurturing. It’s magical to stand back back see the little ones laughing and swimming away.

Hi Carly-Ann,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review!
We’re thrilled to hear that your experience with the preschool swimming lessons has been so positive. We understand how nerve-wracking it can be for both parents and toddlers, especially when it’s the first time being in a swimming environment without the parent joining in the water. It’s wonderful to know that our coaches have been able to make your child feel at ease and confident.
The small group size is something we’re proud of, as it allows for personalised attention, helping each child build trust and grow at their own pace. It’s amazing to hear that you’ve enjoyed watching the little ones having fun and gaining confidence in the water!
Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we’re so happy that your child is enjoying the lessons. We look forward to continuing this journey with you and your toddler!
If there’s anything else you need or any suggestions you have, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for sharing your experience with us!
Kind regards,
Charmaine
Excellent experience at Saltash Leisure Centre
From the moment I walked in to make a membership enquiry, I was hugely impressed by this centre. The staff are helpful, friendly and enthusiastic. The facilities are clean and well maintained. I also find the booking system easy to use. Best of all, the provision for my daughter is the best I've ever experienced with a leisure centre as they run so many junior gym sessions throughout the week. After just a week of being a member she told me she felt 'healthier and happier' and I have to say, I feel the same! Highly recommended.

Absolutely shocking rude staff
Absolutely shocking rude staff, poor facility. I'm a disabled person and I was made to leave the pool by staff to be told off for a child I didn't even know. I cant belive how rude the staff were. Will never go again.

Swimming pool is good and gym facilities are good.
The jacuzzi needs to be refurbished and be a little warmer in terms of temperature as it’s not a pleasant experience.
Hope the changing facilities will get an upgrade in the new year as it really does need bringing up to todays standards

Very poor changing area.
Changing area, cramped, Small and in desperate need of refurbishment. No spinner for spinning bathing suits. Only 2 hairdryers and payment needed. No soap or shampoo in shower area. A lot of lockers broken.
