1 / 3Poynton Leisure Centre
đ Poynton, North West
Poynton Leisure Centre has a 20m, 4-lane pool with swimming lessons from age 3, family swim sessions, a newly refurbished gym, badminton and squash courts, and birthday party options. Vending machines and reasonable parking available.
I've been playing football on Friday nights here for years now. The hall has an old school gymnasium vibe, but it's a good size for 5 or 6 a side games and is great value for money compared with similar facilities. The staff are always friendly, too. I enjoy playing there, and that's what counts âŊđ
đ Family Action Verdict
Best for families wanting relaxed family swims and gym access in a friendly, low-key setting. Grandparents bringing grandchildren specifically mention enjoying the quiet pool sessions.

âSuper little gym. Pretty much every piece of equipment you could ever need split over 2 rooms. Really friendly, helpful and encouraging staff. Good selection of classes although popular ones fill up fast so book in early.â

âThis is a lovely pool and often quiet enough to enjoy a swim alone or at times when taking my Granddaughter swimming, which we love. The staff are always friendly and polite and the newly refurbished changing rooms are lovely. My only complaint is the difference in how each particular life guards deal with situations. When we started swimming with our Grandaughter we were told she had to demonstrate she could swim a bredth to be allowed to go past the marker for the deep water, which is perfectly sensible advise. Today I witnessed a young man with 2 small children both under 5 swimming at the deep end, both children in arm bands. There were times when he was at the shallow end with one child, while the older girl around 4 yrs old stayed in the deep end. When she became alarmed she screamed for her dad who then swam to her leaving the 2yr old by herself in the shallow end. At no point did the life guard on duty, a very young man attempt to advise or tell the customer to move both children into the shallow part of the pool. Clearly the Life G was not comfortable delivering the message so ignored it, or they were not trained to deal with it which is equally worrying. This really needs to be addressed before there is an accident and delivering a difficult message should absolutely be part of the trainingâ
