One of the best pools in the UK! Plymouth Life Centre boasts a full 10 lane 50m Olympic size pool, an Olympic diving pool, dryside training facilities, a sauna and steam room. This is a fantastic facility and very competitively priced. The facility is very well kept with staff really stepping up during COVID to ensure high cleanliness standards were maintained. Staff are always friendly, welcoming and professional. Would highly recommend to all!

Excellent selection of activities and facilities. I only really use the swimming so can't comment on the others, but generally very good. Staff always friendly and helpful, especially the lifeguards. Pool excellent, and plenty of space, so always room even when there are other activities going on. The timetable seems well planned. Only slight negative is occasionally the changing room floors could be a bit cleaner, but I do appreciate this is difficult when not everyone removes their shoes as they should do. Cafe a bit pricey but otherwise well run. Would recommend the pool highly.

So I haven't been here in the best part of a decade, but my daughter wanted to try netball so off I toddled to Plymouth Pilgrims training session. Well looked after building, helpful staff and the cafe prices are quite reasonable as well. Was busy even at 5.45, all the sports halls were in use and the brief look I had through the gym door showed a well equipped and staffed gym. Am going to be here once a week by the looks of it so I will explore more. 4 stars because although the coffee was reasonably priced it was not very nice.

Small pool was warm, bigger pool fine if swimming. No flumes as not enough lifeguards, although reception said they were on. Overall a nice swim, shame about the flumes though.

Great location, good facilities. But boring for young kids. Been three times are different days and the slide is never open which is poor
