Aspire Leisure Centre

"I'm not happy giving a bad review ,but this is not our first time of same issues. How disgusting the disabled changing room it is. Smells like urination each time we come in and each time we stepping in a lots of water in that changingroom.We kindly asked manager(lady)if she can do something about it because we can't use any other room and every time we get in we feel really sick and scared to even use hoist and bed because of hairs and powder everywhere on bed.When we get back to the room there was nothing done!.Only they used a bit of air freshener! Water on the floor and nappy bin(full of used nappies)still was there. We are coming to Aspire for many years and this was never that bad how it is now last couple of months. Can someone do something about it please!!We believe this room needs to be checked and cleaned more often.!!Really disappointed and sad"

"Absolutely amazing place. the service was really fast/ the pool was clean and well organised. the changing room as clean and tidy. but my favourite part of it all was the cafe. The service was so kind and helpful the variate of food was amazing and really tasty. with hot and cold drinks and hot and cold food. there were also tasty desserts. would go again."

"I love this place. The pool water is warm, the staff are super friendly and the swimschool is really good. I started bringing my firstborn here for her mother baby swim 13 years ago now! And we all still come here to swim regularly. Nice shallow parts and you can stand in the deep end. We just love it here."

"I witnessed a young girl encounter an Islamophobic verbal attack today. A grown lady accompanied by her grandson was standing in the changing area and in the cubicle opposite to her was the girl. Once she’d come out of the cubicle this lady turned to her and started shouting hatefully and aggressively under the pretence that another person’s child had pulled a face at her grandson. Regardless of whether or not the girl had pulled a face, shouting at a child as a grown woman is never acceptable. It seemed like she believed that the girl was alone, which makes the incident even more disgusting. Once seemingly the girl’s mother had realised what the focus of her anger she got involved to defend her, then the woman began to get up in her face and began to shout at her too. Her entire demeanour changed once she was asked whether her inexcusable behaviour was due to the child wearing a headscarf. No staff intervened and I do not believe anyone spoke to the lady in question even though she provoked the confrontation. I have been a regular here but this incident has put me off attending this Aspire indefinitely."

"Swimming pool is warmer than other pools in the area and not too busy. The sports halls are large and everywhere is accessible. Good staff, good facilities, large parking, not overbooked."
