Rivermead Leisure Complex

Big sports centre with good swimming facilities. There is a flume which is a hit with the kids.
good value for money too.
i play badminton here and there’s plenty of sports to try out with classes given for people of all abilities.

as i guess you can gather from the reviews posted, rivermead leisure is used for many different activities
i’ve seen status quo here, laughed at jim davidson here, celebrated my mother in law’s 60^th here, & played 5 a side football here
it’s for swimming that i’ve used it most. every time we visit family in reading, my 10 year old insists on going here on sunday morning
it’s reasonably priced, & although you have to pay to park, you get the charge off your swimming fee
lockers are chargable; you buy a token at the entrance
the changing roons are unisex, average quality
the showers aren’t great
there’s only one pool which is beach style; the wave machine is turned on each ½ hour & is great fun
there’s one flume only, & the queue is quite ordally, with a wait of no more than 5 mins
there is a small toddlers pool with a slight slope for the liitle’uns to play on
finally, i have never found the pool to be unpleasant (too busy, too cold etc)
overall, we enjoy it & will always return

Rivermead is a trully exquisite place to go swimming, because of all the great features like the soothing wave producing machine and slippery water slide, you really would’nt wanna miss out on going swimming their.
