Nice pool, especially for kids. Lazy river turned on every hour for 15 minutes starting at 10:45. Plenty of lifeguards. Nearby paid parking.

Lovely outdoor pool. Bit pricey 8.50 plus parking for a 3 hr slot. Also noticed that capacity is double on a weekend! 100 for each session on a weekday but 200 at weekend. Would be so crowded.

I was on holiday in Whitstable for a few days, so as a lido tourist, I took the short train journey to Faversham to have a swim in the outdoor pool. The pool was easy to walk from the railway station, and on arrival the receptionist was friendly and approachable. I headed to the outdoor pool and found a "lane swimming" lane available and very quiet. The water temperature was cool, but just right for a warm day. All 33m of the pool were in use, but I understand that it is shortened at times when the three diving boards at the deep end are in use. I enjoyed my swim, but the only slight negative was the very wet and slippy floor in the changing room. Other than minor gripe, it was a pleasant experience.

Great afternoon with the kids.. they loved the outside rapids and the indoor pool as well, will be back in the summer! Good price for an adult and x3 children, £27.00. Indoor pools very well laid out, no matter where you are you can see the kids, bonus!! Cafe very good as well, parking expensive but thats down to swale council and not the pools fault, would highly recommend this place 10/10 👌

Great pools for lane swimming especially sunset swims on Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Sunrise Swim on Sunday morning. The outdoor pool is 33m and indoor 25m. Clean pools, changing rooms and new lockers. Showers recently refurbished via crowd funding for the project. Friendly reception team who always make swimmers feel welcome. Hard working cleaners who keep the centre to a high standard of cleanliness. The lifeguards are attentive and professional. Monthly swim pass is better value than pay as you go if swimming more than twice a week. Tides cafe is open at peak times selling great coffee and snacks. Car park is council run and fees apply in evenings. Beware of poor lighting. Swale Council is looking into this - March 2024
