Bitterne Leisure Centre

Lovely pool and friendly staff. The lady working at reception was very helpful when we visited with our autistic son

swim lessons are great I did them for a few years, going onto the rookies class they offer to, facilities kept clean, staff are very friendly. The pool is shut at the moment but information is provided and staff are happy to explain if asked pool and gym quality is good and much more available to do than the larger centre in town that seems to be mostly offices and empty space.

This place is a center for the community in the truest sense.
The staff are friendly and do their best to keep it clean, which can't be easy in the dated facilities.
I only use the pool and the changing areas desperately need an upgrade, but for me that only knocks off 1 star because I commend the center for keeping their prices achievable for their diverse clientele in all walks of life.
I love seeing families of all backgrounds taking part in the children & infant classes, people of all shapes and sizes in the lane swimming sessions, singing a song with an elderly lady in the next shower, positive affirmation Graffiti in the changing cubicles and noone ever batted an eye over a modest swimsuit.

First time back in a swimming pool for over 20 years, and I loved it! Only did 10 lengths, but baby steps. I've got COPD, so I'm trying this to help my breathing. So far, so good. See you again tomorrow😀
