Yearsley Swimming Pool: what do users think?
TRIPL3DADDY.: My son swims here with his school, says the pool is sometimes cooler than they would like, but overall a good swimming pool
Irene Forsyth: Loving the Aquafit classes!
john barnes-tee: Always helpfull staff and never any problems with our sessions great asset to our kayak club.
Pete S: Very long pool
Barry Greenaway: Well run and staff very friendly
Sarah Lee: We go here a lot. It's a full size pool which is quite rare. They do lane swimming and swim for all and family fun swims on a weekend. They also do aqua aerobics twice a week and swimming lessons and club stuff. Loads going on. It's an old building/pool with some great heritage and historic links to the city and it's workers/people. The pool and building are well looked after and are clean and the changing areas/showers/toilets are clean. You can book online and I think you can turn up and pay, if there are spaces. The staff are good. There are vending machines in the lobby for hot and cold drinks and snacks. There is enough parking at the venue but the car park is really tight with little space between the 2 rows and the spaces are tight.
Chris Turner: Best pool in York for squad training
Nick Case: Yearsley pool is simply the best pool around. Tried all the modern pools at Energise and the new one at the stadium and Yearsley has by far the best ambience. The old style changing booths just work, the place feels open and stress free. Awesome facility, how many 50yrd pools are there left!?
Herjan Velding: Nice big pool. 50 yards long. Showers are nice and hot. Lockers require 20p coin.Great for lane swimming or family swimming. No slides.Water temperature ok, but the water itself wasn't particularly clean. Lots of clumps of hair on the bottom.The rest of the pool side is well maintained though with plenty of individual changing cubes as well as family charging cubes, all split by gender. Plenty of life guards.Be nice if they had a couple of centrifuges to spin trunks / swimming costumes dry, which is quite common for swimming pools.There is seating upstairs for parents to watch their kids and 2 vending machines with drinks and snacks in reception.Places for lane swimming etc. need to be booked online or via the Better app.Free parking for customers and some parking reserved for Blue badge.Overall a good pool (although old) and one of the few pools longer than 25m.
erica fletcher: Nice n clean
Martin Reilly: Unhappy to see the £1 returnable lockers replaced with keep your 20p locker. Appreciate they need to get revenue but how do you get a 20p these days? Also adds up for a regular swimmer. They are cashless so no way to get a ready supply of 20p coins if you swim 4 days a week.
Amy Carlin: Staff always really friendly and the water is the perfect temperature.Would definitely recommend
April Gamble: I go to aqua fit on a Friday it's spotless. the staff are great .
Emotive Piano: Quaint changing facilities, gender segregated, made me feel like a horse in a stable (why are the doors not full height?) But a BIG pool for a good swim, not crowded, booking process easy, just the thing for our visit to York in the hot weather.
義人啟迪: The first 50yards swimming pool I swam in UK😅
lucy hurn: I'm a triathlete, and up to now swimming has been a necessary part of the training mix but not much more, but since I found Yearsley swimming pool, it is honestly one of the highlights of my week. The pool is large (50 yards) and is (usually) split into 3 wide lanes, which gets rid of all the agro - its easy to over take/ be overtaken so there's no stressing about what pace you or others are doing. It's really bright and airy and the light dapples on the bottom of the pool as if you're swimming outside. The staff are all friendly and helpful, its well maintained and cleaned, it's clearly well valued and used by so many and there's a wide variety of people who go, from breast stroke chatters to competitive athletes and everyone in between and there's a generally friendly atmosphere between everyone. Thanks so much for this gem!
anne white: Fabulous pool. Clean and well looked after. Staff are friendly but also professional.
Lucy Brown: This is a lovely pool, we play octopush (underwater hockey) here every Saturday from 3-4 pm. New players are always welcome! Find us on Facebook - York Octopush. This pool is a glorious 50 yards lengths long and has a beautiful old fashioned designs. It is never very busy and great place to come for uninterrupted lengths!
Jąʍҽʂ: A lovely pool, straight forward, calm and a great place to exercise.The online booking can be quite fickle however.
Lisa Machin: Great 'old style' pool, with easy access via bus number's 1, 5, or 5a. Wheelchair friendly entrance. Separated changing cubicles for gender options, which are accessible on the side of the pool. Hairdryer's available too.
Marjolein Admiraal: Nice pool, not too busy and very accessible.

New Earswick Swimming Pool: what do users think?
Julie Cole: Great experience with puddle Ducks , swimming changing rooms are nice and roomy , so is the pool
Elena Leeming: Great pool and very warm.
Emotive Piano: Dated changing facilities (segregated male/female) and we were supposed to be emailed a door entry code when we booked, other than that nice pool in pleasant setting.
Cath Walker: First time in many years ,my cousin and myself went for First time and did 32 lengths ,not to many people in as well
JoeL: Friendly community swimming pool. Would recommend
jean paul jacques: Fantastic place. Have yo be a member to swim
Chris Turner: Lovely pool can't wait for recreational swimming to be open again
Jon C: Only been the once for the little ones swimming lesson. The seating area could do with a quick revamp but on the whole it's a nice little village pool and are even open on weekends and evenings so people who work can also use the facilities. Hopefully I will have the chance to do so shortly.
Febe MARTIN: Lovely pool keep in really good condition apart from the changing tooms which need updatong

York Leisure Centre: what do users think?
Maureen Shaw: I ate at the cafe and the food was good and service pleasant and helpful.
Elena Leeming: Super space and there is so much you can do here..
Scott Higgs: I used Anytime Fitness round the corner before moving here after it’s unfortunate closure (due to locality convenience). The gym is relatively okay, has all the facilities you want, just a shame none of them are available between the hours of 4-9 on a weekday as it’s crawling with people (mainly kids who don’t look long out of nappies). So my membership is £33 a month and I can only access what I want before 4pm through the week and on weekends. A booking system should be utilised for gym access as it just can’t facilitate the demand. Would drop this place in a heartbeat if Anytime Fitness re-opened. 👍🏼
Istvan Nemes: Really like this place. Gym is clean not very busy when I go in the night time. Staff are nice. Swimming pool amazing.
D H: It's a shame the swimming pool area doesn't have diving boards and slides like waterworld had, everytime I have visited there has only ever been about 20 people max yet when they had waterworld it was always full with lots of families enjoying themselves.Yes there is a gym and climbing wall etc but we go out of York as do a lot of others for more fun swimming pools.
tariq 1994: The gym is clean and quiet, and the staff are friendly and work well, especially imogen , natalie , and Tom .
Sameer Khan: Wonderful placeAlex and Edward who works in the clip & climb were really amazing. My little ones were so comfortable with them ...Thanks guys, keep up the good work.
Eric Porter: Brilliant new facility. It has everything the family needs. Highly recommended.
Stephen Robinson: Great gym facilities available, big changing room with showers and toilets.
Kevin Macdonald: Recently joined here mainly for the gym. A big bonuses was they have BP Pulse charging pints in their North Car Park. One of the two charging points has been out of order but repaired recently. Unfortunately the car park is so often full that non electric vehicles or electric vehicles not plugged in to charge block one of the four EV bays. On top of that some EVs, presumably staff, plug in and stay there all day.I presume the EV points were installed as a facility to attract customers but as they are not policed at all it’s a free for all. It’s similar to how they have staff at the entrance to the North Car Park on match days to stop football fans parking and yet the ones who entry from opposite the range have no warden to intercept them so anyone can drive in and this means that leisure centre users cannot park. Both are examples of poor management that could easily be rectified. Unfortunately once you let such behaviour slip, then the number of offenders will just rocket upwards.Also, I have a disabled Mum, I appreciate the provision of disabled parking spaces but for example about 25% of the North Car Park is designated for disabled parking. That’s a lot of disabled bays. This area isn’t well served by buses and it would take me one hour by bus to get here which isn’t feasible. Overall the car park issue, electric vehicle charging, match day access and reduced parking spaces due to too many disabled spaces is a big negative for this centre.It’s a shame. The leisure centre is good. The gym is very clean, a good choice of classes and nice pools.
Barry Greenaway: Staff are fantastic, the facilities perfect, going to go every weekday. Loved it
John Cooper: Booked daughter into the beginners swimming class. Slow start and a lot of lessons spent stood around whilst waiting for the others to have a turn. Needs more staff in the younger session. Realistically a 30 minute session is 5 minutes of register and getting the kids into the water and then 15-20 of stood in the water waiting. This is a great shame as the staff are brilliant and really try and the facilities are good too. It’s just the class is too big early on and could do with an extra teacher for the first few sessions so all the children get to do more learning.
Eden Hope: We really enjoy the swimming and book the small pool which my children like. Shame it’s a tad small would be nice for a bit more to offer the children. It’s a shame you can’t book in advance other than seven days, would be good for a month in advance to book. Lockers and changing rooms are good and clean
christopher adby: If you want a good coffee go somewhere else..... Very poor and very expensive
M DP: Great place to bring the kids. We did kids swimming and noticed the climbing walls there too loom amazing. Will be returning for sure.Oh, and be careful about coming on a match day. We didn't realize and things get congested there.
Andrew McMaster: Great centre but website and booking process is awful.
Joshua Philpott: Very upset at having got a fine for overstaying 20 minutes on a match day. With 4 children between us (one getting diagnosed for Autism) this does not seem fair.
Chris Tomkins: Great complex
John Walton: Took my 7year old son to the clip n climb and we both loved it. He wants to go again so that says it all.
VaultHunter85: Quick and easy booking online for the swim session, very friendly and efficient staff. Very clean pool and facilities.
Laura Rudd: Fantastic facilities with ample parking. Great little park attached that's free. Really recommend it here

York Sport Village: what do users think?
Georgia Craig: gyms busy, with two squat racks, copious amounts of rusty (??!) technogym, and no deadlift platform. trecky to get to, and just not the best. friendly staff, but the gyms just crammed full of equipment but very limited free weights
kathryn Surtees: We are members here and its great
Connor Hawksworth: Great for taking a newborn swimming as it has everything you need and is warm.
David Alderson: A really good setup here. Probably the best pool in the city (barring outdoor at DL), gym is well setup, can get busy but there are quieter times
Eleanor: Large gym and pool, always very clean when I go and there’s access to free classes if you’re a member which is a nice bonus. The café also sells a good range of cold drinks to costa and has a view over the pool which is useful. The temperature is always good for exercising.
George Mackay: vending machine don’t work.not pleased.🤬😡🤬🤬
Dominic Spengler: Nice but a bit pricey and the pool isn’t too clean — ended up with conjunctivitis from it more than once. Otherwise good upstairs gym though. Shame that it’s quite far away from everything so cycling there via the windy open bike path from the other campus isn’t very fun.
Colin Walker: Great swimming pool
Thomas Smith: I love York Sport ❤
Alison Mellor: You'd expect it to feel really busy on a Saturday but there was plenty of space to swim. The changing rooms were clean and warm. It's just a shame that the pool isn't open more for free swimming
Mc Dog: Swimming ... well laid out, lovely girl on reception. Recommended!
iiSunnyrxses: very nice 👌
Rumia_Touhou: 价格很实惠不过泳池有些小没人带泳帽还有就是泳池里的水一股难闻的咸味
Rob Dover: Modern facilities. Easy to find, easy to park. Reasonably priced. Interesting cycling circuit too. And an outdoor velodrome, the like of which I've never seen before.
João Paulo Brito: The structure is perfect.
Derek MUNDY: There for Invictus Training in Archery. I found there were not enough toilets and no canteen. Vending machines only..
Darryl Smith: What a selection of exercise experiences, from 5 a side, to dance and swimming.
Paul Browne: Friendly staff, great location and great facilities. Not much to dislike hence my 5 stars
Ellie Pickard: Brilliant clean facilities.
Lloyd Bodill: Good.
Trevor Oakley: Pouts, barrier-jumpers and people who sit on equipment looking at themselves for 30 minutes whilst 10 other people wait to use it. Too many people, too many in love with themselves.
