Community leisure centre with 25-metre main pool and separate toddler pool. Viewing galleries at both pools. Children's swim lessons with experienced coaches. Gym, sports halls, and OCL membership access included.
π Funzaroo Verdict
Strongest choice for families focused on children's swimming development. The coaching team consistently draws praise for patience and results with young swimmers at all stages. The separate toddler pool means under-5s have dedicated water space away from lap swimmers.

βCar park is far to small for the amount of people bringing kids to the swimming baths. Changing room is dirty, nobody ever cleaning the floors. No shoe covering bags visable on entry, guess they don't have any, all the other ocl gyms have them. The viewing area for the kids pool, is far to small for the parents sit or be able to watch the kids. The viewing area for the kids pool windows are in need of a cleaning, almost like opaque glass, they're that dirty. A speaker to hear what the teacher is saying to the kids. The changing rooms is really busy and crammed for how empty the pool is. Basically the pools to big for the changing rooms. The staff are great and friendly, but what I've mentioned needs altering for this place to work effiently. -A bigger carpark (multistory π€·πΌββοΈ ) -bigger viewing are for the kids pool. -speaker in the kids pool viewing area. (maybe even a cafe) -clean the kids pool viewing area windows. -clean the changing rooms. -speaker for teacher in the kids viewing area. -shoe coverings provided on pool changing room entry.β

βWe canβt thank Royton Leisure Centre enough for the incredible support and encouragement theyβve given our daughter. Thanks to the amazing team, sheβs grown in confidence and ability far beyond what we ever expected - and she absolutely loves every session! The coaches are not only professional but genuinely care about each childβs progress. They strike the perfect balance between fun and focus, and itβs clear theyβre passionate about what they do. Itβs been a joy watching our daughter thrive in such a positive, welcoming environment. Massive shoutout to Katie and the rest of the coaches for creating a place where kids can push themselves, build resilience, and most importantly - enjoy the journey. Highly recommended to any parent looking to help their child grow both physically and mentally. Keep up the brilliant work, Royton team - youβre making a real difference!β

βA great leisure centre with a main swimming pool and a toddler pool. They have viewing areas for both pools as well as vending machines for snacks and drinks and tea and coffee. They also have a small selection of swimwear and accessories bad well as Swim nappies in case you forget to bring any. The swimming lessons are good value with friendly staff and the pool and changing areas are clean and tidy. They also have a gym and offer a good variety of fun sessions with your membership such as Zumba and Aquasize. The only potential issue with this gym is that the opening hours may not suit busy people who work long hours. Other than that the gym membership is good value and includes free access to the pools and they often have offers on to attract new members.β
