Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We attended the pool reception today and waited for the receptionist. When she did arrive, she said that the pool was at maximum capacity and that we couldn’t use the pool. She didn’t provide us with any other option, wait time, or further explanation, so we left with two very upset young kids. I won’t be returning with my kids and they lost our business today. There was another family ahead of us too. I’m disappointed by this and hope that additional staff could be considered at the weekends/bank holidays to prevent families being turned away and having to experience what we did today. It is a nice facility to have in the area but I’m not willing to run the risk of the pool being at max capacity if I return with my kids again.

It was our first time back to the swimming pool since lock-down and I was well impressed with the new wet-side changing rooms. Lovely new floors (great for kids and elderly) and changing areas, fabulous job!
Pool was a lovely temperature too.
Great experience!

I wanted to go badly to this place., in 2021-22 so, they responded very well but then we had told them we will get back. in 2024 i reached out past 3 months before i joined another place. They did not reply. The last response was., go directly to Ottera and register. Due to unavailability I had to postpone my dates. Then again when i asked for a location as it was long gap from my end., they stopped replying my pings. I do not have any intention to give such feedback, there are situations where we might not able to make it. So We try to make the bookings someday due to personal reasons. But when we ping for queries., they stopped replied thinking they are tired of answering many times. Not only this facility many facility receptions are worst. I mean the CSR. sometimes it works well, sometimes its an insult. I am giving my experience here.

I find the pool here to be over packed and filthy I can't understand how this place keeps a float, customer service/reception is exceptionally poor and rude. I know a person who had items stolen in the changing room. Swim lessons are over packed, they are very eager to take your money for the lessons but very poor structure after that. I have seen over 10 kids to one lesson at the duckling stage where the kids are allocated less than 4 mins per lesson, very poor reward system, zero feedback from teachers etc. I would run a mile from this place!!!

I am only talking about the pool and the sauna part of the centre. It feels neglected. Only one hair drier for many visitors, broken lockers, no segregated showers, the seats in the changing rooms are so narrow it is impossible to sit on, many changing room has no hanger as well. Some of there staff at the reception are very unfriendly particularly on Sundays.

Was in there yesterday 11th November 21 around 5pm, the receptionist was just terrible, whoever hires and staff trains here really needs to take note as it has been said in previous reviews and when talking to colleague today they had similar experience on thier visit to the pool with thier kids, she was just plainly rude, abrupt and is someone who is unfit for the public facing job, I will be surely telling my fellow colleagues new to the area to avoid this place. Rest of staff seemed very pleasant and informed and facilities good but I can imagine the business that must be lost by allowing someone this unprofessional as the first point of contact.

I brought my 5 year old son for swimming lessons here. The changing rooms were filthy every time I went there. Hair in the showers, and grime everywhere. Over the course of the lessons (a 10 week course I think ) he had (maybe) 3 different instructors, non of which he could name. And as I couldn't go on the deck I couldn't see who be teaching him that day. There were so many children in the class he spent most of the time hanging off the bar, and at the end of the course, not even a 'thank you','goodbye', 'well done' or a certificate for all his good work. I won't be bringing him back there for more lessons.
I've been to exercise classes here and they are fine but only because its so local and the range of classes are good.

The Shannon Leisure Center is a one stop shop. You can get a great work-out, shower and get your hair done all in one afternoon and be ready to go out for the evening energized, clean, and fashionable. Can't ask for much more.

I've only used the Gym here & I have to say the facilities are second to none in Shannon there's no other gym anywhere in the locality that can match it . Staff are friendly the place is spotless ( I've been in some gyms where the Hoover's look sad & depressed) there's a wide variety of equipment to use, as with all gyms depending on what time of the day you visit will probably impact on how you feel about your visit so if you go early less people go later & obviously more people so more equipment gets used . It's actually quite clever how it's laid out with two gym rooms the 1st with all the thread mills,bikes & machines & free weights up to 20kg then the second room has all the heavier weights from 20s up so if your a gym novice it's not off putting having to watch someone lift what looks like the size of a small car . I would highly recommend a visit here if you go in with an open mind you won't be disappointed . Just a side note on one of the other reviews about knowing someone who had something stolen from here , that happens everywhere I once had property go missing from a police station there are lockers provided .
