Shirley Swimming Pool

This is my favourite swimming pool to visit! Lovely little pool and it’s so much calmer and quieter than a lot of other ones which is good for those with sensory issues. The changing rooms are always nice and clean and the staff are super helpful and friendly!

Have not been for years cause I moved but I have very fond memories of my regular weekly classes. A very important part of the Southampton community.

The baby lessons are way over priced compared to the quays, the staff were forever miss informing be about important details. Unhelpful reception team members which isn’t their fault as they clearly haven’t been trained well enough to know all the polices and procedures. They take your money and refuse to give you a refund when they make a mistake. However the swimming instructor was Lovley no fault there. Would highly… not recommend sending your babies here.

Me and my daughter Rosa have been going to shirley swimming school since she was 6 weeks old and I couldn't recommend it more. We attend Wednesdays with Philomena but if for any reason we can't make it they allow us to make up the lesson at another date. Philomena is a wonderful teacher, who knows how to get the best out of the lessons. My daughter is so confident in the water and I owe it all to the school

Back to basics for a pool but with basics done really well. Lady on reception (Natalie I think) was excellent and really shows how to do good customer service well. Baby pool is nice and small and well heated. Sessions are booked in advance so not too busy. Toys to play with as well. Adult pool looked decent for lane swimming. Changing rooms for men was compact but good enough.
