We love attending our toddler swimming lessons every Saturday. My little one and myself find the facilities very comfortable, the temperature in the changing rooms is fantastic and the pools are amazing, we particularly enjoy the lazy river and jacuzzi. The cafe area is very nice to have a coffee and snacks, lovely and friendly members of staff always welcome us in here. Our swimming instructor Evie, has been very supportive and she has given us very practical tips for our children to start this journey into swimming. Unfortunately for us, she is leaving soon but we wanted to thank her for her great work this way. Good luck in Uni, Evie!!

Jimmy is the best swimming coach I could’ve ever asked for. He didn’t just teach me how to swim, he made me enjoy the water and truly love swimming. His techniques are simply amazing, and I felt progress after every single session. He puts his heart into coaching and genuinely celebrates when you do well, it’s exciting and motivating! 🏊‍♂️🐬 Leaving Cardiff is bittersweet. The International Pool and Gym, with its incredible 100m pool and great spa facilities, has been such a big part of my life. It’s hard to say goodbye to a place that feels like home. A big thank you to Sam from the staff too, he's always been kind, helpful, and welcoming. Cardiff will always be another home to me.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Today, we had a fantastic visit to the Cardiff International Pool with my family and a friend's family. From the moment we arrived, the experience was seamless, starting with getting our entrance tickets and picking up some swimming essentials like goggles and swim caps from the well-stocked shop. The pool area was impressive, offering something for everyone. The highlight for the more experienced swimmers in our group was definitely the blue slide. It’s an exhilarating ride that drops you into a 2.5-meter-deep pool—perfect for those confident in the water. The red slide, on the other hand, was a big hit with everyone. It’s long and winding, offering a thrilling but safe ride, ideal for those who aren’t strong swimmers but still want a bit of excitement. For the younger kids, the orange and yellow slides were perfect. They’re shorter and designed with little ones in mind, though they do have height restrictions to ensure safety. The kids couldn’t get enough of them and kept going back for more. After all the fun, we took a break at the café. It’s a comfortable space with a good selection of snacks and drinks, perfect for recharging before heading back to the pool. Overall, it was a wonderful day filled with laughter, excitement, and great memories for both families.

We visited here recently after spotting it on Google. Really well organised check in with plenty of people on the desk. Flowed really well despite how busy it was. Changing area had loads of room and was clean and tidy. Pool was warm and a great size. The lazy river and slides were fantastic fun and the kids had a blast. Despite the pool being busy the queues for the slides were quick and well run. Would absolutely come visit again.

I believe you need to monitor your staff performance and professionalism. If the person is not motivated to work and show their best just simply do not hire them and give salaries for ruining the place reputation. Today I visited the swimming pool and gym near my home, hoping to register myself and my child. I had already checked the website but wanted some additional details, so I went in person. At the information desk, four staff members were present. One — Ravi — was busy helping customers, while the other three were sitting and chatting. I approached one of the available staff, but unfortunately, he was quite dismissive, cutting me off and telling me to check the website, even after I explained I was seeking more details. When Ravi became available, he kindly took the time to answer all my questions with professionalism and patience. I even asked his name to thank him here, but he humbly said it wasn’t necessary. Still, I feel it’s important to acknowledge his excellent customer service, especially given how busy he was. Overall, while I was disappointed by the unhelpful attitude of the other staff members, I truly appreciated Ravi’s professionalism and support. Thank you, Ravi, for your great service and for making the effort when others didn’t. you truly stood out!
