Salt Ayre Leisure Centre

I go every week and enjoy the swim but have recently seen a decline inspite of new showers and hair dryers. One of the dryers is quite often out of order. All the lockers are a disgrace and need renewing - half of them are broken or have bits broken off. One toilet door in the ladies has been broken for years. Both spinners for costumes have been removed and I believe not being replaced. Floors are not very clean either. But still they put the prices up. Disappointing. I complained last year about some men in showers shoving their hands down their trunks to wash their bits -not a pretty site- I was told by text that this would be looked into. I had hoped someone might put a sign up asking them to show respect for the fact that there are women in the showers too but nothing. So if I could go somewhere else to swim near by I probably would.

A great all round leisure centre with excellent facilities. The range of classes is brilliant catering to all needs. The cafe has some good food options at a fair price. The immersive spin room is well equipped and provides a fantastic workout exposure. The gym has everything you need though it is smaller than your purpose gyms (like JD Gyms). The spa has a good variety of treatments too.

Great leisure centre. We never went swimming. Went in soft play! Children loved it. Burnt off energy in there. Large soft play area. Up to 12years so that was good. Children also enjoyed different wall climbing activities including a task to do it blind folded!!! All harnessed!!! So perfectly safe. Nice café there . With good coffee and food. Staff very good . One to one ratio on climbing walls. Friendly and attentive. Parking. Also outside activities. Yes good place.

Soft play has always been good but the pool has been lacking for a while now. No crowd control over the holidays at all. Totally overcrowded, older kids jumping in at the shallow end on top of younger kids, jumping off the floats, non swimmers in the deep end, and not one life guard said anything while we were there. Baby pool was closed and I have never once seen the slides open. Not even a full length pool because the baby pool was up (even tho there were 2 lanes open for people to do lengths) they just left the baby pool up with no toys or anything in but left a sign up saying closed. Public session is meant to be in until 2:45 but at 2:30 they start hoofing everyone out. My most serious note to add tho is that every time we go to the pool it's absolutely freezing to the point of both me and my children's lips go blue. My 7 year old can't suffer more than half an hour in the pool because she gets too cold and her lips and fingures go blue so this time round we went into the hot tub thinking we will heat up a bit but it was even colder! I'm a wild swimmer so when I pay to go to an indoor pool, at the price it is now, I expect to be able to swim for more than half an hour because it's too cold! Shame really, it's a real let down, the play area has always been really good and the kids have enjoyed years playing there and we would like to be able to do both and make the day of it when we make the time to come.
