📍 Manchester, North West
Community leisure centre in Manchester with a 25-metre pool, teaching pool, gym with Matrix equipment, four-court sports hall, squash courts, sauna, and aerobics studio. Learn to Swim programmes available. Free parking.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with school-age children who want affordable, no-frills community swimming with good lane availability. Junior ticket pricing is very low and the pool temperature is consistently described as comfortable. Lane swimming pre-booking is the recommended approach for a frustration-free session.

“✨10/10 for service by Connor ✨ I called to enquire about the gym/sauna/steam facilities. Connor was able to answer every question and even informed me that they don't have a steam room but other locations do which I can also use within the same membership. Connor went above and beyond to provide me with excellent support and service. Thank you! I hope the facilities match the same level of expectation.”
