Cocks Moors Woods Leisure Centre

Great facilities but even better, amazing staff. I accidentally dropped my phone behind the back of the lockers and the team spent 20 minutes rescuing it! Super appreciate and a massive thank you to Sam, Ethan & Jodie

I have been for a swim at cocks moors and have found the place absolutely disgusting. The swim change and shower area is absolutely disgraceful. The ladies toilets we're filthy. The eating area. The tables we're clean but the floor yet again was filthy. I used to be a regular, and the place was lovely and spotless. There used to be a cleaner on morning and night. Now hardly you see anyone. I think cocks moors needs some TLC. And a industrial clean I won't be returning for a while and I be telling my friends not to go unless you want to be ill.such ashame cocks moors

Reasonable pool with flume and baby pool. However, the showers don't work (cold and no pressure, and have been like this for months, so this is a deliberate choice by the managers). Who provides a swimming pool without functional showers? There are no private showers either. The changing rooms are filthy and cramped and the toilets are grim. I used to be a regular, went again to see if it's been improved but unfortunately not.

I have been using this centre for some years now but lately it's gone down. I use swimming pool only and the cleanliness of wet and dry areas is poor. Dirty floors, dirty changing cubicles and clumps of hair in the shower drain. I don't understand the 'no outerwear' signs all around where 'the outer'is much cleaner than inside and who in their right mind would walk barefoot on those disgusting floors? Toilets are tired, with broken cubicle locks and dirty floor that could really use a pressure washer. Recently changed showerheads have very low water pressure and the water is either scorching hot or freezing cold, nothing in between. Hair dryers in ladies changing room either broken or removed.There's only few towel hangers, some lockers inside are truly disgusting, no benches to leave your bag while you shower and nobody thought to install some shampoo holders by showers, so you have to keep everything on the floor. As for the swimming area itself, the pool is big and deep, good for doing the lengths. They removed tables and benches recently so it doesn't look very inviting and the floor tiles again need a proper scrub. My main issue there is that there's lots of debris floating in the water, the foamy bits from the equipment and I've never seen any staff trying to fish it out. I even saw a plaster floating there once! On the plus side the staff are very friendly and helpful and the car park is spacious, so 2 * for this.

The showers have recently been refurbished, the water is cold in the showers. It goes a little bit like warm then cold again. The layout of the showers mean that everyone gets wet as you walk through. I take my kids to lessons here and you cannot sit to watch your own children swim. Any child over 3 means as a parent you are summoned to sit in the cafe and wait during the lesson. The kids get certificates for achievements which cost £3.70 a blank print. The swimming teachers issue certificates for all sorts to incentives the add on purchase so something additional to consider. The gym is recently refurbished too and that is a good gym. A little on the pricey side at around £38 per month but overall gym wise and classes seem to be good. Hygiene of the swimming is as expected of public pools. Coffee prices are about £3-£4 which again is priced to monopolise the fact that you can't get a hot drink anywhere else nearby. Cappuccino is nice but not worth it compared to the price and what you would pay at a high street coffee shop. Overall, I bring my kids here to swim as it's local and works for my schedule but some improvements needed.

If I could give it zero stars I would. The swimming teachers are friendly. The dinning area is grotty tables are sticky and food in all the edges of the table. It’s vile. The pool is ok. The changing rooms should come with a health warning. Smelling strongly of urine, I have seen used dirty nappy’s in changing rooms. Often mucky water puddles from either shoes or actually the floors being filthy I don’t think they’ve seen a mop in a few decades. Showers only 6 work and are freezing. I do get its in need of updating but some proper cleaning wouldn’t go a miss. I made endless complaints.

What is actually the point of having a phone service if no one answers? I’ve been trying to contact you guys for 3 days consecutively multiple times throughout the day and NOTHING. Not even a call back after I’ve left a voice mail. Clearly there’s a very poor chain of command across the leisure centre or your phone line is faulty? Whatever it is. Look into it-all I wanted to do was enquire about student membership prices.
