Reviewing for swimming - other things you can do here may be different. Booking via the newport live website or calling them is always a nightmare, complex, and confusing. There seem to be very few swim sessions open for families at reasonable times. The pool is large and nice and has always been near empty when I visited, but they just seem to not care about letting people use it. I'd rather travel to a leisure centre in a nearby town like Risca or Caldicot than even try booking a session here. Makes me genuinely angry, as I assume they are heavily subsidised, yet they seem to errect barriers to making swimming accessible to all.

Poor staff and life guards it was women ONLY swimming and there were 2 female life guards but instead of putting 2 female life guard they put a male on purpose and said “they were short of staff” some women don’t want men to be there lifeguards and us women were feeling very uncomfortable as the male lifeguards was just looking at us what a shame and when you call them via phone they never answer I have been on it for 30 minutes now and no answer and I know they aren’t busy…
