Jesmond Swimming Pool

Pros - offers adult lessons, staff are nice enough, prices are reasonable Cons - the changing rooms are disgusting in a way that has nothing to do with the age of the building. The walls are stained, there are tons of drain flies, the floors are filthy, the shower drains back up leaving a pool of dirty water at your feet when you shower and there has been blood on the walls on two occasions. The hygiene is really unacceptable and this really needs to be addressed.

Fine gym with the most important equipments to do your workout. The swimming pool is quite good and the memberships are well priced. I didn’t like how there isn’t much headroom for workouts that include jumping. Also, I wish that there was cellular service, because once you’re down, you’re cut from the world.

Changing rooms very basic and the pool has been so cold that my son is like an ice block for a good hour after he gets out. He has already improved massively in the water these past few weeks with just a few basic techniques so can't fault that side of things.

Brilliant. Haven't been swimming for ages. The pool and changing rooms are great and the staff are lovely and friendly. I didn't have 20p for the locker so remember to one or get change at front desk.

Reasonably priced, changing tables for babies which made taking my daughter straightforward. The changing rooms were not very clean (loads of hair/lint on the floors and around the drains), the pool was a bit tricky getting in and out due to the high edge, especially with a baby. It was warm enough. The showers were very hot and only come on for about 3 seconds at a time. Not my favourite in the area, I think I'll stick with Northumbria.
