★★★★★Featured review by Vlad Petruxin

Jccs tennis centre. Great coaches. Perfect waiting area. Plenty of tennis classes. Great opportunity for kids beginners. Nice and warm inside. A lot of classes for adults. I love this tennis club. Recommend it strongly. Great car parking area.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families who want structured coaching in swimming or tennis, with highly rated instructors and a well-organised competition programme. The large pool is a genuine draw for galas and formal events.

â„šī¸ What to Know Before You Go

💡Arrive prepared for a cold pool on first entry — the water temperature surprises first-time visitors
⏰Bring all post-swim kit including toiletries as the changing room layout is not straightforward
đŸŽŸī¸Viewing areas at galas get very warm — dress in light layers if attending a competition
🚗Cafe at the tennis centre serves hot drinks; hot food is available at the aquatics building nearby

“Attended for a GSM pickleball tournament. Excellent facilities, plenty of courts, well-organised & a friendly vibe. Hot drinks available at the tennis centre, hot food at the nearby Aquatics centre (we were told, I did not investigate)”

“Nice swimming ground. I came here for a gala on 12/7/25 and the gala was fantastically organised. Huge pool but utterly FREEZING when you first get in. The viewing area is also boiling. Other than that, it's a great place to swim.”

“A massive complex that has plenty of car parking spaces. I attended a Weightlifting competition there. The staff were friendly and served me a decent coffee. The one negative was that the toilets were dirty at 0930.”
