Hello Margaret,
Thank you for your comment and feedback.

A Good Leisure Centre
Overall I enjoy visiting this centre and particularly the swimming pool.
In comparison with other centres it is great value and at times when it is quiet it feels like my own private pool but better because there are lifeguards!
This centre does get a little busy at peak times particularly with children's swimming clubs but I do feel that the centre tries to accommodate everyone equally and listens to feedback.

The staff are very kind and helpful.
The staff are very kind and helpful.
The gym has a variety of equipment and is clean.
The studio room for classes is not very big but is sufficient for the numbers allowed in each class. The class instructors are knowledgeable and run excellent classes.
The aqua aerobics classes held in the swimming pool area is well managed with excellent instructors.
My only comment relates to the showers within the swimming area which needs to be improved. On a number of occasions the water from the showers are either too hot or too cold. The area is small and insufficient when a large number of people leave the pool after classes or a school group of children .

Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
I give 3 stars because the pool at Better Chingford is quite cold for the children.
Also, which I find very shocking , the staff is walking on their trainers in the pool environment. Please, enforce your staff to wear dedicated flip-flops for hygiene and safety reasons!!!

Good Afternoon Anna,
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts in your review.
We are thrilled to learn that you are enjoying your membership at the Chingford Leisure Centre. Our team works hard to create a welcoming environment, so it’s wonderful to know that their efforts have made a positive impression on you.
We are sorry to hear that the staff are wearing outdoor shoes at the poolside so I will ensure your concerns are relayed to the management team at the centre so they can look into this issue.
We thank you for your feedback. Your insights are invaluable to enhancing the overall experience for all our members.
Warm regards,
Charmaine
Staff are excellent and friendly.
The receptionist was excellent by patiently walking me through booking a swimming lesson on your app. The website was difficult to use.
The swimming teacher, Patti was also excellent and made the most of every minute.
You need to remove your shoes before entering the changing room so it's a good idea to bring a pair of flip flops.

Good Morning Sarah,
I hope this message finds you well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review with us. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us to continuously improve our services.
We are delighted to hear that our staff at the centre were able to assist you efficiently with the online registration for swimming lessons, especially given the challenges you encountered on our website. Your experience is important to us, and I will ensure that your feedback regarding the website issues is communicated to our web developers. They will assess the situation and work on any necessary improvements to enhance the online experience for all our users.
We are also thrilled to learn that Patti made such a positive impression as your child’s instructor and that your child had an enjoyable lesson. It is always our goal to provide a welcoming and effective learning environment for all participants.
On another note, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused by having wet feet after needing to remove your shoes to enter the changing area. We understand how uncomfortable that can be. To make your future visits more pleasant, we encourage you to bring along some flip-flops or sliders. This way, you can easily transition into the changing area without any discomfort.
Thank you once again for your valuable insights. If you have any further suggestions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Cihan and Georgina have been absolutely amazing! Cihan is an incredible teacher who has not only helped our daughter improve her swimming skills but has also greatly boosted her confidence. His kindness and patience truly make a difference. Georgina is equally fantastic—such a compassionate and wonderful lady who always goes above and beyond for the children. We feel so lucky to have them both supporting our little ones. Highly recommend!
