This pool and gym is fantastic. Ignore the whiners and detractors. It is not posh, it is not new, but it's friendly, accessible and affordable. Staff are great, professional and friendly and the swim experience, with the natural sunlight is amazing.

The pool is in need of a deep clean, it's ideal for disabled people as there are no steps or stairs. The staff are lovely and friendly.

Been using this pool since I was a kid, am now 38. Both of my children have learned to swim here. I live closer to Wigan baths but would always choose this pool over them any day. Staff have always been brilliant, especially with my sons SEN needs. Heather was amazing with him. To have access to both the small warm pool and the large pool is not found in many places anymore, so this is nice. Yes it is in need of refurbishment, but at the end of the day it's a local community pool, not a 5* Ritz Hotel Spa. Many people rely on this place and its affordable prices.

Both the pool and gym do the job, but no frills, and they've been neglected for years. Need some investment. Decent size pool with diving end. Burscough diving club have the deep end on a Saturday to 1.30pm, so can't do lengths, only widths, (but added entertainment!) Well-used by kids on a Saturday. Midweek - schools use it, but 12.15pm there is a gap for length swimming. You'll need a combination lock for the pool lockers, can buy from reception for £5 (50p for the gym lockers). But the pool really needs a re-furb. Generally a bit grubby, needs a deep clean round the inside edges of the pool, especially at the deep end. One of the ladies toilet doors needs it lock fixing. People trampt through with dirty shoes, so the floor needs a quick mop every 1 or 2 hours. Just looks tired. But its functional, cheap and local. The gym also needs some investment too, some of the exercise machines are old, but most work. I don't mind it, cheap, functional, basic, quiet, don't have to wait for machines and everyone is friendly, does the job.

Been using Nye Bevan gym for almost 2 years - and the pool on a few occasions. Yes, the building is showing it's age and could do with a complete refurb or replacement but other than that is still perfectly adequate and offers great facilities and good value for money. £19 a month for unlimited gym use, in a small, but well equipped and friendly facility that suits people of all ages - especially older people - not everyone wants the likes of Gym Works or Bannatyne - nor can they afford them! The gym is used extensively by people of all ages and the range of equipment is excellent. Staff are very friendly and accommodating of customers. Nye Bevan is a much needed facility in Skelmersdale - Use it - or Lose it
