Rebecca Adlington Swimming Centre

I started coming here when I was around 4 in around 2004/5 I think when it was Sheerwood Baths, In the baby pool with Joy, then went on to the adult pool with Angie when it was Rebecca Adlington swimming Centre, they sorted out us going to a different venue while the remodel was happening too. I must’ve been swimming here for around 10 years doing lessons and, without tooting my own horn, I’m one of the best swimmers I know thanks to my teachers. Angie and Joy were absolutely amazing, great teachers, and great with the parents that came to watch. I made a friend for life here, and passed all of my badges up to 5000M, including Personal Survival.

I’m unsure what it’s like here now as I’m pretty sure Angie is on reception now (I think), however I have nothing at all bad to say about this place from my experience, it was my favourite day of the week coming to my lessons on a Saturday morning :)

Pool is OK, they keep investing money into it which is good. Took my daughters here for swimming lessons for a few years. Very hit and miss on teachers. Some teachers are brilliant but they don't seem to stay very long before they move on. They have a few good teachers and then others you can tell dont want to be there. They don't smile or interact with the children they just send them up and down, shich is fine as they get older but when their young they need to enjoy the lesso . It ended up being a chore trying to get them to attend the lessons. One teacher spent most of the lesson chatting to the lifeguards. Would not recommend for lesson. But fine for a swim.

Today my daughter felt unwell on her swimming lesson . Not only did they make sure she was out the pool and was making sure she was OK a very big thank you to everyone who was involved with her today your kindness and support was very good and you are a credit to yourselves and once again a big thank you from myself and her mum 👌👍

Pools an changing rooms are nice an clean, staff are welcoming an swimming teachers are amazing 👏

GREAT swimming baths.
The swimming instructors are so very friendly & show outstanding patience and encouragement with the people they teach. My 5 year old adores Joy, who’s SUPERB in every lesson our son has attended.
Thank you so very much 👏

My most bad experience in this gym. I have done 2 month and correctly pay 30 💷 monthly just to be flexible to leave any time I want. But the policy of this gym it’s to give them one month notice even if not have any contract with them. So, example, if you wanna do a gym for only one month you have to pay 2 month, because you have to give them 30 days before notice. That’s is very bad. So in 2 month in this gym I pay 120 💷. 30 for the membership 60 for the 2 month of the gym and 30 because I didn’t give 30 before notice that I wanna leave.

Depends what you are looking for. Has various activities which require booking. A timetable, important to check before going to avoid disappointment. There are set times daily for lane and leisure swimming every day different.

Only one sheffield stand for locking up bikes, so if you show up and it is in use, tough. Sister site has 10! Also, pool changing rooms often smell of urine.

That said, the pool and gym are clean, as are gym changing rooms. Ample lockers (both the storage and changing room kind), all staff helpful and friendly. Nice range of equipment too.
