Me and my son was wear cotton T shirts that’s why they did not allow me to swim. Though they were return my money. But I didn’t like it.
They called it fun pool but they giving wave too less.
Another thing is that they don't allow anyone to take pictures personally, but they take pictures with their own photographer. Maybe they charge for it. I don't know how morally consistent that is.
Locker/hair drier use system is to enter 20p. At present, who is traveling around with coin in the pocket?
In general,it couldn’t meet my expectations.

Great gym with pleasant staff. The gym is located opposite the fun pool as separate. The classes are great for motivation. It has a good range of equipment and space. I go pay as you go.

Good swimming pools, there are cafes, gyms, aerobics in the water, they follow safety precautions.
Cons: there is absolutely not enough oxygen inside, as if you are in a sauna, it is very stuffy, we were sweating all the time. Lockers for personal belongings are very small and the same lockers and hair dryers are paid - why? Often there is no cash change with you, what to do in this case?

The gym is very much lacking standard gym equipment, there are no sit up benches or any core machines which is strange in a gym. The lane swim pool looks like it needs some cleaning and maintenance (usually busy too), the dive board is permanently closed due to being broken with no plan to repair, the fun pool is closing, the showers are pretty cold and cannot adjust water temp, the whole place looks like it needs some renovation. The cost for membership is too high for the standard of facilities offered I think.
With a few changes in the gym and pools this could be a great place but sadly it clearly needs a little investment but no one is planning to spend a little money here to bring it up to standards

Gala pool inflatable Aqua challenge is brilliant fun. Ages 6+ and be able to swim at least 25m. 45min sessions weekends & weekdays in school holidays. Buoyancy aid supplied. Area for spectators.

The only thing I didn't like was the long walk from the showers to the pool. You have to cross an area where people have walked in outside shoes which rather defeats the point of showering. There is a gate from showers to poolside. The Sovereign Centre should seriously consider opening that back up. No photography allowed so no photos.

The wave machine was the best we've experienced. Having the tables and chairs around the pool lent a wonderful holiday vibe. Having 90 minutes was great. With young children it can take them time to build their confidence.

Used the gym and pool for two months whilst I was in town; really great price, flexible memberships, friendly staff (guys in the gym are very friendly and helpful), very clean gym, and a really good range of equipment and spaces.

Only minor gripes are changing rooms could do with an update and music from the peak time classes impacts the vibe in the free weights area (even with headphones fully up you can hear it) but other than that a great place!
