Teddington Pools & Fitness Centre Review

A proper local authority facility. Inclusive and welcoming. Friendly staff too.

The 25m swimming pool is clean and well kept, the changing rooms are separate and group( for schools mostly) overall a great place.

Perfect swimming pool and very nice staff. Covid careful - so plenty of space.
But don't tell everyone!

Lovely Gym and pool. Friendly staff and happy to help show you round. Trainers on hand in gym. To help with professional program.

If u go here u will get to noe how to swim. In addition to this there is this section which means you can use equipment that increases the mass of muscles in ur body whilst removing fat that makes u look fat. I only use the bit that has loads of water but still it does not require u to take out a bank loan to pay. Just turn up. Chuck a few coins over the counter. Dive in!!!!!!

Nice atmosphere and very helpful staff but lack of space and insufficient equipment

Nice an clean swimming pool. The gym aera is is great, staff are nice and professional

Large 25m Pools for Lengths and a small pool.for lessons and baby swim

I have been using this centre for years and overall, find it very good. I have a walking disability due to spinal injury & find the facilities for this are excellent with good disabled shower & changing room. The pool, floors & changing areas are generally kept clean., & staff respond quickly to any complaints on this score. I have always been impressed on the amount of activities for babies & small children, & Mums/Dads & kids. If you are living in the area, I would highly recommend this facility. It would be nice if there was an on-site cafe, but on the other hand, there are plenty nearby.

The pool and changing rooms could do with a bit of a clean as they are quite grimey.

The overall atmosphere was quite nice, it wasn't too busy, and the pool qas quite warm!

Priced reasonably and had space for the whole family to get changed, so my wife didn't have to wrangle three children into their bathing suits.

The parking lot is small and parking is difficult, but it can be parked on the street after 7pm. The swimming pool is good, but 4 o'clock is used by the swimming club most of the time.

Cannot fault the facilities or the professionalism of the staff. Always so helpful & informative. Highly recommended for everybody.

A good clean pool, not too crowded either. Small but clean shower cubicles and safe lockers to put valuables in. Staff are polite and very helpful. A most enjoyable swimming experience, which I hope to repeat next time I visit.

No frills pool but nothing missing at all - good sized clean changing rooms; usually plenty of space in the car park; standard and learner pool - with clearly published float times / club times etc on the website. Nice tall windows letting in lots of light. Default pool to visit - has everything you'd need.

Staff unqualified, receptionists gossipy and are usually on facebook behind the monitor. Poorly run gym.

There is room for a lot of improvements in the gym dept. The pool is ok

Decent enough public swimming pool. Tried the spinning class - not great.

Very good facilities, clean, and as good as one could ever expect ...a wonderful local amenity

Part of the pay as you gym scheme for approx 8 quid. Fitness center has reasonably sized and tidy free weights section, some resistance machines and cardio machines.

Friendly staff. Swimming lessons on a saturday for the little uns. Gets a bit congested around the changing rooms but the swimming teacher makes it all worthwhile for the kids.

I swim there. The water is very good quality compared to Isleworth swimming pool.

Love the swimming pool! It's shorter that the outdoor Hampton pool though. Very reasonably priced classes. However, I went to a yin yoga class and it wasn't a yin yoga class (it was a general hatha) so if would be worth management checking the quality and descriptions of their classes. Also, fyi the changing rooms are unisex and the showers are a little worse for wear.

Priced reasonably and had space for the whole family to get changed, so my wife didn't have to wrangle three children into their bathing suits.

Good pool, clean and tidy. Would be nice to have longer/more general swim hours jn the evening.

The staff are lovely. The gym is small with weights, kettlebell and mats. There are two pools, a Lane pool and a baby pool.

Visited the park for exercise time
All good spacious enough for a fair few children to play

Interesting for parents!
My experience with the children's swimming lessons at Teddington.
People have to go though a ridiculous process of staying in line on cold Sunday early mornings, in order to get a place for their child.
The fees are ofcourse high.
Personally now, to set the stage, my 7yo knows how to swim, had lessons for a few years now and every summer we are swimming at sea and pool.
Today, a few months into his lessons at Teddington, my son is being put through "tests" to see if he is fit to advance to a next level and he is found "not fit" to progress.

Results after the first month's there: My 7yo crying and feeling sorry for himself, feeling like he is not good enough and that's just wrong, as far as swimming lessons are concerned.

They manage to create serious complexes to young children, instead of helping them advance and build up themselves through swimming.

Ofcourse, I can't help but realise that they are leaving them on the same level so they can keep them longer enrolled...

Decent sized pool. Good time schedules for lane swimming and clean changing rooms. What more could you want?

Nice and ideal for training, great instructors. Swimming pool is good enough for training session

Public facility with 2 indoor swimming pools, plus a gym with exercise equipment & group classes.

Nice pool for young babies and larger pool for adults. Will definitely start coming more often.

Lovely pool and facilities but ladies showers need updating..

Good learner pool. Great for the kids. Changing rooms could be a bit warmer though!

In April/ May, I could not walk, I had 2 trapped nerves in my back. I started hydro therapy 3 timeswa week. Since then I have got better each week, halved my tablets and am walking well. I am so grateful to have such a facility near my home. SJ

Great clean pool with unisex changing area so you can both stay with your family/children well organised

So glad the pool is still there, I have used it a lot over the years. Mid-week it is very quiet and provides peaceful and fun excercise. It is usually not warm per se. But definately heated. So getting in is fine all year round. Well staffed. Changing rooms are clean, there are plenty of lockers. Some are usually in need of repair but they replaced older ones and the new ones are good because the key was stiff in some of the old ones. Now it's easy to turn, a child can do it. We are not talking luxury or finery, but if you want to swim in SW London this is one of the best places to go. You can also use student cards.

Pool no good if you want a relaxing, after work swim. Half the pool roped off every eve for classes, which means the lanes are packed. Men get narky if you hold them up, splash you as they swim past and spit pool water out, which is really unpleasant when you re in such close proximity to them. I ve given up and won t return, I love swimming, but I can t bear this pool.

Swam against my friends what a blast definitely will go again

I was going for a swim today, checked their online schedule to make sure the pool is available, but sadly I arrived and they have an event at the pool for another hour so instead of working out, I head to the local coffee shop to put on more calories :-( Please keep your online schedule up to date!

The staff are friendly and helpful and only want to see you improve! This gym helped me build my physical fitness as well as my confidence!

Hydrotherapy pool has good facilities, only problem is there are only 4 blue badge bays so if full it's a long walk to main carpark bearing in mind demographic using the pool.

Love going with my daughters and they do too! Gym and swim memberships available as well as just showing up!

Love my gym. There staff are lovely and I have found my tribe here! Great monthly membership fee, excellent services.

Good facilities for swimming and fitness with loads of classes for all ages and abilities

Staff excellent. Pool excellent. Location excellent

Only missing one star because the changing rooms could be better. The staff are great and the pools are clean.

Love the staff at this centre. I'm a regular swimmer (wherever I am) and have gone to quite a few pools/gyms. The staff here are great and make me feel welcome everytime. Gym staff are great at giving that extra eye/few pointers or leaving you completely be depending on what you want. It's quite a small gym but generally there's not too many people in there (I go at peak times and have always been able to get the equipment I want at some point). There's a few of each of the standard cardio machines, the standard resistance machines and then the free-weights sections. They have a couple of free-weights sections and a separate stretching area so none of them get too crowded. There could be a few more mirrors/ mirrors that go slightly lower down but otherwise it's a pretty decent space.
Good sized spinning studio and aerobics studio to accommodate the great range of classes available.
Watch out for club training times with the pool as it leaves lane times pretty restricted to within the working day :( The pool is also slightly funny as it is noticeably heated at one end, so as you swim away from the shallow end it feels cold and back it feels hot (proof that human heat sensitivity is relative). There is a decent sized children's pool as well.

Unfortunately during the lock down the place is closed and not available

Nice gym with decent equipment, friendly staff and never seems overly packed.
Also a pool.

Benn going since I was a child. Now teaching my children to swim here.

Really nice, clean swimming pool with a kids' pool and hydrotherapy pool available too. Changing rooms are all clean and tidy too. Most of the staff are students but are all very helpful and friendly.
