    It sounds wrong to say this is a run of the (tread)mill sports centre but it's probably the best…read moreway to describe it to give you the right impression. It has two pools, small (baby) pool and a regular, 25m, large pool. It has wet and dry changing facilities - with the swimming / wet ones having a refurb recently. The reception staff are a real mix, some are really friendly, helpful and enthusiastic and some just look plain bored. We have found the teaching staff to be nothing short of excellent, a dedicated bunch who have a real passion for swimming. We have small children and they have thoroughly enjoyed their lessons and have progressed well with the tuition. We get regular feedback, often weekly as how they are doing and where they are heading. The swimming pool is light, functional and perfect for swimming lessons and lane swimming. Most of the time the temperature is good and the lanes aren't very busy the times I have been. They have the floats out on Saturday afternoons to add a bit of variety. The viewing are is a row of seat all along one side of the pool and with a glass waist high partition you can view the swimming area easily and communicate with people in the pool. The sports hall is viewable from the reception area, I haven't been in but I've seen Zumba classes, roller hockey and badminton going on through the large glass walls that go down one thirds of the side of it. Refreshments wise there are a couple of drink vending machines (one hot, one cold) and also snack machines. Also a small but adequate range of swimming items are available for sale in the reception area such as costumes, goggles, floating aids and a limited amount of gym clothes.

    Nice swimming pool and gym facilities. The badminton hall is nice and tall and is ventilated nicely…read morehowever there is a glass wall overseeing at least the first two courts and it can be a pit off-putting for players but means spectators can watch without being in the way of play. Recommended.

    So this is where it all started...the beginning of a rather bizarre love with swimming pools as a…read moreplace for fun - the memories of youth - I remember the excitement when this leisure pool originally opened in 1976 - it wasn't a rectangle it was round! What was this madness? Half the pool was too shallow to actually swim in and it had waves. This was the very first time I had encountered a "leisure" pool - oh trend setting, thoroughly modern Swindon you have so much to answer for - (along with the famed "magic roundabout"). I still return here with the kids every time we jump on a train to visit my wife's family. It is a great pool but looking distinctly tatty round the edges now. The domed roof desperately needs renewing - it looked spectacular 30 years ago but putting that aside its still super fun. The pool itself is beach style with a separate small kids pool. Good kids pool with 3 slides plus pirate ship.... The main pool has a steep three lane multislide and a new long slide circles inside the building (77m long). But really it is the flumes here that count and these are top. The Domebusters have a had a refurb this year and one of them has been replaced. All are approx 100m in length.So first off The Sidewinder A fairly gentle, spiralling flume aimed at younger children and parents. You can sit or go head first. The Great White My favourite - heads first ONLY never seen that on any other slide! Normally feet first everywhere.... A fast ride with two small vertical drops and several twists and turns. The Storm The new this year straight fast flume - small circumference with a striped lighting effect and sounds.. Didn't get to try this out this time - but will be back to do so....busy with an under 5... The session time was only an hour - which is really not long enough and it is fairly expensive considering the stingy hour. There are not many reasons to visit Swindon but this is definitely one if you are a water slide fan or the kids love to swim. . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update So I came back to try out the new flume which I hadn't managed to try out last time. Managed to slip away from a family visit for a couple of hours with my teenagers. Interestingly GLL have taken over the management of the leisure centre since we were here in 2012 (they run most of the pools we visit in London). It had been spruced up a bit with the new corporate livery...but still the stingy session times. We took no notice of the session times and made good use of the domebuster slides. So The Storm was the main attraction - small tube, dark, with striped lightning and fast with the descent as a helix. A big thumbs up from the family - a great slide but not in our top 5 slides. The Great White remains the favourite - head first you can pick up some proper speed and fly over the steepest vertical drops... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Oasis is a great place to take the family swimming! They have a huge laguna pool that boasts water…read moreslides, a wave machine, a smaller pool for the children and a big water sprayer. They do a range of different classes such as mother and baby Swimming, OAP Swimming and also offer swimming lessons. They have also just started doing gigs with people such as 'The Sugababes' 'Cascada' and 'Shayne Ward' perfoming there.
