It is a nice center. Good popular gym. Staff are friendly. Yeh it needs an update. Yeh it’s not as super fancy as some other pools. But I went here with my 6 year old. And he bloody loved it !!! 'fun' swim. Used the over the weekend to keep active and happy but wish we didn't go. This is older than me as I went as a child and now taken my own kids, so surprised how little it's changed. Sadly we left very soon after arriving as the was too cold for my young (6 and 4). As much as they tried and wanted to swim, they just couldn't due to the temperature and the blue lips on my 4yo was it for us. The shivering and chattering teeth with the blue lip forced us to leave and probably never return, which is a shame as they love the flumes and waves. Great size but what's the point if they actually can't go in it. Never mind turning the temp down to save cost bcz us not returning won't help. wouldn't recommend to anyone with small ones, especially babies as you need warmer temps for babies. This experience unnerved me as a mum and don't want that to happen again to either of my kids, it's not worth it. Cascade Leisure Centre is a very wonderful place to go for and gym. Although membership is a bit pricey, you will have access to Gym, sport hall, table tennis, badminton, health and spa section and swimming. It's worth it really, during you will be having fun with the wave that is really powerful. There are clean toilets (gym area) and safe lockers in the changing room. There is also a warm shower available too. The only let down is the staffs. While most of them are kind and friendly, one of the staffs whom I assume is named Jake I believe don't really know but I was waiting in the line for a membership card for 10 minutes and when he got to me he said that we are closed although he wasn't bothered to say that in the beggining! Overall, this is the best place. It's not the most pretty or modern place, but it was perfect for what we wanted. We have a 1 year old and a 3 year old and there is plenty of shallow areas for them to play, as well as a tiny baby with a slide. Unfortunately the waves weren't on so that was a shame, but they still had the best time. The play area outside was amazing though. There was hardly anyone there so that was nice too 👍 Honestly the worst we have ever been to. It hasn't had any money spent on it for at least 30 years, the cleanliness is disgusting the changing rooms are awful stains on walls, chewing gum and dirt all over the floor. was cold and looked so run down ! Honestly we feel you could Honestly catch something from here. Please please also do not eat here! I feel awful we took our 2 year old here ! We stated for 30mins then left Firdt of all, Cascades is good for value - £23ish for a family of 4, which is significantly less than most other leisure pools in Medway. The itself is fine. It's slightly run down due to it's age, but has always been maintained to a clean standard when we have been. Sessions are 90 minutes long, and the changing rooms are cleaned down, floors wiped etc by staff inbetween each session. Lifeguards are present and attentive without being too 'whistle happy!' The itself has all that we need. A shallow area, baby with warm water, deep end, mushroom fountain, waves and 2 flumes. Flumes: one is for younger, shorter (i think 1m+). They can ride with adults, in or out of armbands. The second flumes is for older and is super fast! It is probably the fastest flumes I've experienced in the UK. Great fun but a bit much for most pre-teen kids. Waves: they're great and come on sharply every 30mins - and they ensure you get 3 lots of waves each 90 min slot. They are quite powerful, but this depends where you place yourself. The deeper in you go, the less powerful they feel. You can remove yourself from where they mainly hit if you don't like them. Baby section: a separate tiny with just a to splash into. Very shallow and warm, good to remove baby's to when the waves are on. Floats: lots of different floats and aids available to use. Deep end: lifeguards let jump in the majority of the deep end. This has always been done responsibly when I've been. Cons: *changing rooms get filled up fast after a session. *toilets aren't the nicest, especially later in the day could be deep cleaned better (although certainly usable and not the worst we've used!) *could do with more showers for after the session. *hair dryers are free, but only 2 and one is broken, so doesn't work great. Dire need of an upgrade there. Overall, we live in Gillingham and it's my of choice, and ours as despite the drive, we would rather better value for money and more fun! Great place to relax in health suite, grab a bite to eat, play squash, use the gym and join in the fabulous classes. The whole team is really friendly. Come and find me for Bums n Tums on a Wednesday 6.15pm and Spin on a Friday at 5.45pm! Good leisure center love cascades the only place we go however cleanliness need a bit of work, the changing rooms aren’t very clean and there have been times where there have been plasters in the 🤢 but they have been dealt with appropriately so overall happy. They are so good with young especially with hidden disabilities, i went and asked if i could take my 8 year old brother on the because he really wanted to go but is autistic and would have got really scared on his own, staff were amazing, really understanding let him go down twice with me until he was ready to go on his own, he needed help getting on the and they were amazing with that letting me put him the and making sure he knew he was ok every time! overall very impressed just need to work on the cleanliness slightly Because the water slides of a fast for my children and they love to go fast I would rate it to 5 stars and it is brilliant Tried to go (with an membership) and they told us we couldn’t go because they had lessons wasted so much fuel for nothing (I live an hour away from cascades) and had no way of getting back home because I had just been dropped of.such bad experience. It was amazing! The was very big and the wave machine was so good. The slides were amazing! The green one was the best the red one just went faster ! I 100% recommend going there . There is also free floates . The water was cold but was Alr . The jacuzzi was so good! So I recommend going there . Therefore that’s why I gave a 5 stars Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
