Life Leisure Avondale

Great Primetime Badminton club every Monday 1300 - 1500 followed by convivial tea, biscuits and conversation. I should add that the staff do an efficient and welcoming job.

Very nice staff. They are very helpful and open to strangers. The gym is clean and quite well equipped and the courses are fun. There are also some 25 m swimming lanes. Overall a great experience!

Pretty standard public swimming pool with nice modern changing rooms (note that the changing area was completely renovated while it was closed for Covid lockdowns so some older reviews on here are no longer relevant in this regard) Well situated too, with plenty of car parking and easy access to local buses The pool itself feels a bit dated but is still perfectly adequate

I went here hoping that this would be my new place to go swimming, however the pool is quite small and if I'm honest I don't think I have ever been to a pool I didn't like this much. It was really quite dirty and gross round the edges so much so that I felt like I wouldn't want to touch the side of the pool. Also the bottom of the shallow end was gritty on the floor. I wont be returning to any of the Life Leisure as I don't really want to experience that again.

Great staff, but the place could do with an update. Water tasted great. Bring your own pad lock. Nice and quiet.
