📍 Bramley, Yorkshire
Beautifully renovated Edwardian pool from 1904 offering baby, child, and adult swimming lessons, family fun swims, floating soundbath sessions, and fitness classes including Zumba, Pilates, and yoga. Free parking available.
This is an amazing place, we have been going here for around 15 year, my children started swimming here from the age of 4, and now my son aged 14 goes to the gym here with me, the staff are very friendly and make you feel like family rather than just a customer, would highly recommend joining to anyone looking for a gym, classes, or swimming lessons/sessions

“What an absolutely gorgeous, clean swimming pool, complete with beautiful architecture it has been lovingly and sensitively renovated into the best possible blend of a modern and vintage leisure facility under one roof. It offers a brilliant range of events, catering to all. The staff are incredible; cheerful, friendly, welcoming and efficient. What a gem!”

“I regularly attend the ladies swim and I feel comfortable that we have female staff. The only downside is, sometimes the males - from the previous session - stay for some time in the pool during the "ladies only" swim. The water feels cooler than some of the other pools I've been to, and sometimes the bottom of the pool looks unclean. I have seen mildew on the old side stones many a time. Unfortunately there is only 1 private shower on the ladies side, which is a shame, since the pool capacity is quite large. Having more showers to wash ourselves would be helpful for people like me - I suffer with a skin condition and chlorine when left on my skin for too long, makes the condition worse. There are more showers but those are not private. Aside from the above, I find the staff polite and helpful. There is also a small cafe area to unwind after an intense swim. The pool is set off a main road with ample on street parking, making it easy to find. Overall good. Areas of improvement noted”
