Brilliant place to work out, have a swim and relax at the health suite.
Am going to try the classes too which I'm told are excellent.
I'd give everything a go once. �
Solid centre. Membership is great value and the pay as you go option is great for casual users.
The staff and facility is excellent, the health suite is like being in a far away resort in the sun
I've been down for the last couple of weeks on my mobility scooter to have a swim lovely staff but missed the blonde haired lady on reception she always has a smile
Popped in had a lovely tour going to sign up what great staff
Kingfisher is a great facility with many clean change rooms and showers with lockers available.
The splash pool for the little ones is a lot of fun - knee deep on a toddler with splashes and fountains and buckets.
Loads of friendly staff and the coffee in the café isnt bad either.
There are a few great rooms for birthday parties or functions and even a good sized bouncy castle !!
There is a small gym and a pool shop to buy goggles or diving toys.
We've been here a few times with our older two ages 6 and and 9 and decided to bring our 3 month old twins this time. The water is warmer than most pools we've been to and the pool is big enough to not feel crowded. The family changing rooms are a nice size but the whole place never feels clean. The toilets are always blocked and not flushed properly. Still doesn't stop us from visiting just be nice if they were inspected and cleaned more.
This is a good pool for learners and children as it has a sloping 'beach' which steadily slopes down, so everyone can find a comfortable depth when learning. It is generally clean and well maintained, with excellent new changing facilities and nice hot showers. The wave machine generates some pretty powerful waves which are really fun! It's also good value for money. Customer service is fine.
However, the pool is not especially warm, the wave machine doesn't always run when advertised and it's not ideal if you're wanting to just do lengths.
I've only used the swimming pool at the weekend. Great for kids as there's plenty of apparatus for them to play with, plus wave machine and 'beach area'. Can be very busy, but they operate timed sessions during peak times and the wait is not usually more than about 10 minutes. If you arrive before 11am, normally it's fine. Pool is clean without being too heavy with chlorine. Main pool suitable for kids 2yrs and up but younger are permitted.
Changing rooms are spacious and there are family cubicles and free-to-use hairdryers. Cleanliness about par for a public swimming pool. They have overshoes available. Warm showers available but bring your own soap.
Looking for new gym/swim/classes option to change from another sport centre I've got. Investigate the website - not enough information, not completed, misleading, no pictures. Not even completed packages description. I've decide to visit. What a surprise! Swimming pool a bit dated but spacious, newly refurbished changing rooms and the biggest surprised - the wellness with usual steam room and sauna, and on the top of it salt chamber, infrared sauna and heated lunges! Gym - looks neat and clean, not massively big... In general I think really good place and really good value for money of the membership. Very competitive, visit and have a look :)

I really like this Leisure centre. The gym is okay, a little on the small side but everything that a basic person needs. You can have a personal trainer included in the first month of subscription and for that period he will make you a schedule and follow you. On my experience they are very good and prepared :)
SWIMMING POOL
The most beautiful thing of this leisure centre is the swimming pool which I love. Is the best one between Wimbledon, new Malden and Kingston. So big with many lanes, 2 pools plus a beach where you can take small children. It has also games inside for them. Sometimes in the day (not sure if only weekend) they have 10 mins of waves which are a delight for all children and adults.
The other small square pool is to have lessons for children or aerobics for elder people :)
SPA
Well this is a downside for me. Spa has the cold bucket for shower, and many steam rooms with different heat. In the room there is a fountain with cold water where you can put your feet and has colourful lights. I don’t like Sauna so for me it’s money wasted.
It’s also a small place so I don’t feel like I’m paying the right amount of money, bu that’s just me.
Large pool with beach-type sloping entry to children's area and connected lanes pool with about 4 lanes. One small slide. A variety of simple children's games. Decent showers and changing area although strangely no coin operated lockers. A small shop at the entrance with swimming costumes and floats. The cafe is really disappointing and there are better options 5 minutes outside. The car park is ~£2-3/hour all week. Various classes run in other rooms.
Good experience. Some of the changing areas were looking a little worse for wear with showers not working, doors being broken and walls being dirty. Great pool though and relatively quiet for this time of day (Sunday late morning).
This is a great local pool and the kids love the wave machine which, at the weekend, comes on about every half an hour 🌊🌊🌊
The pool is heated, the showers are hot and the changing rooms are clean 🌝
The pool is close to parking and all of the shops and restaurants Kingston has to offer 💰🤑💰
The only down side to the pool (hence four stars) is the waiting to get into the pool 🤨🤔🤨 It can get so busy (particularly at the weekend) that a queue forms to get into the pool which can be up to an hour's wait! Not much of a problem now that we know the drill and expect a wait, as we wander around Kingston until our wait is up (after we've paid and gained our bands of course 😁)
There is also a nice little park right outside, so if the kids haven't expelled enough energy after swimming, the park will help there too 😁😁😁
Fun pool with a splash area for kids with fountains and other fun stuff. And of course the famous wave machine (not always running). They tuck some length lanes in the corner for adults. Beware when the water aerobics or other classes are taking place, the size of the area open to the public can be quite limited. Small studio upstairs for the usual kinds of classes.

The good:
Cheap swim only membership is a real bargain. Appx £22 pcm.
Water temperature is warmer than other public pools.
New changing rooms are excellent, and the new showers are nice and hot.
It has a wave machine. You can pretend you're swimming in the sea for a few minutes.
The bad:
The lane arrangements are very hit and miss - and they only ever provide narrow lanes which is fine if you're doing front crawl, but a real pain for those doing other strokes. Simply turn the slowest 2 lanes into 1 wide lap lane in the evenings and at lunchtime. Most other pools have this set-up.
Random unscheduled swim lessons sometimes involving one or two people, and unpredictable aqua classes mean lanes suddenly disappear.
It's impossible to swipe in as a member - the fast track machine never works. And even if it did, you still have to present the ticket to the receptionist after fighting for their attention. It's a joke - you'll often find yourself behind a long queue of people making tortuously long enquiries at the desk. How hard would it be to put a swipe card reader on the turnstile?
The lockers require a padlock which is fine for members but casual visitors don't know this so are obliged to buy one at reception. Tokens or pound coins would've been better.
Kids hogging the showers and showers seem to be breaking down and not repaired - although there are cubicles to the side that not everyone knows about.
Overall the cheap membership, warm water and new changing rooms make it worthwhile IMHO. Just sort out the swipe entry for members, and make a wide lane for all the slow/medium swimmers.
Nice staff and everyone that teaches classes are well trained. However, the gym should have more spray and paper towels as no one EVER wipes down after they use the equipment. Also, I wish there was a quickerway to check into the gym as one receptionist can only do so much.
