Long cancellation period which I didn't know about so I was charged for extra month when I wasn't there anymore. That said, everything alright at the location plus nice people.

Swimming after 17 years
I've only been to the swimming pool at the moment. It is a bit colder than expected but fine once you completely get wet. I like the separate lanes to allow for different swimming abilities. Showers are ok but there needs to be more space for shampoo and items nearby. I have a GP referral but it still is expensive, so I make sure to swim at least 3 times a week to get my money worth

Hello Clare,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us — and welcome back to swimming after 17 years!
We're really glad to hear you’re enjoying the separate lanes for different swimming abilities and making the most of your sessions.
Your feedback about the water temperature, shower space, and pricing is very helpful. We understand how important it is to feel comfortable and supported, especially with a GP referral, and we’ll pass your comments on to the relevant team to see how we can improve the facilities and value.
Thanks again for your commitment to swimming regularly — we hope it continues to be a positive part of your routine!
Warm regards,

I first used this pool in the 1970's and wanted to go back with my wife. It's a shame the booking process via the app is so difficult when trying to book for two that I gave up.

Hello Charles,
Thank you very much for your comments and feedback.

The reception is wonderful
The reception is wonderful, the water is okay. However there is need to increase one to one engagement during swimming lessons as the trainer was attending to three persons at a go and I didn't get the best of attention.

Good Morning Henrietta,

Swimming Classes not great
Great first session, met at the door, given instructions. Friendly, welcoming, informative.
However after 3 sessions, I can’t say it’s impressive, you can tell a mile off that the swimming teachers don’t have their own children. Approx 8-10 children per class which is too large for 1 teacher to manage.
If any child is struggling they don’t stop them to help them correct technique just continue with the class. So much for updating the app with their progress when their classes are back to back. They did it for session 1 but not session 2 or 3. I won’t be continuing my direct debit. Disappointing after the initial welcome!

Hi Laura,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you felt welcomed and informed during your first session at the Yearsley Pool. However, we’re truly sorry to hear that your experience in the subsequent classes didn’t meet your expectations.
We understand your concerns about class size and the level of individual attention provided. We strive to maintain a supportive environment for every child, and it’s disappointing to learn that this wasn’t reflected in your sessions. We also appreciate your feedback regarding progress updates and will look into improving consistency in communication.
Your comments are important to us as they help us identify areas for improvement. If you’re open to it, we’d love the opportunity to discuss this further and see how we might better support your child’s learning experience.
Thank you again for your honesty, and we wish you all the best moving forward.
Kind regards,
Charmaine

Great first swimming lesson for Luca
Great first swimming lesson for Luca. Excellent facilities and teachers.
The reception area of Yearsley Swimming pool is a bit confusing and crowded: it was not clear whether we needed to scan in or not, and there wasn’t anyone on reception on Sat morning at 10am.

1st lesson absolutely brilliant
1st lesson absolutely brilliant. Granddaughter learnt to put her face in water, using a noodle and the teacher working her legs, floating on her back with help, her confidence was building so much that with the help of the teacher she jumped into the pool twice!!!!! She was absolutely buzzing. 2nd lesson different teacher she learnt nothing spent 25 minutes of the 30 minute lesson hanging on to the side of the pool. The teacher dragged her across pool 3 times by her noodle while talking to the other children. Tried to speak to the guy on reception he didn’t seem interested. Very disappointed and a waste of money. 1 st week 3 in class, 2 nd week 4 in class. We will see what week 3 brings.
XXXXXX UPDATE XXXXXX

Absolutely The Best -Love It!
Wish I’d discovered this place when I first came to York two years ago but better late than never! Yearsley Swimming pool is a joy to swim in with a friendly dedicated community and staff who are so grateful for this facility as am I, plus my regular swim here has done wonders for my back! I love the Better app too which makes it so easy to book and the monthly membership makes swimming daily before work totally affordable (£1 a day approx) I can’t even get a cup of coffee for that amount. This place brightens up my day. Brilliant value and experience.
