Went in this afternoon and the staff were friendly and very helpful. The changing rooms were clean, the poolside was spotless and the showers after were nice and hot. It’s definitely five stars.

Paid £10 to get taxi for the 2pm swim and there was a sign on the door sayinging cash only!!! We swim there every sunday. There was no warning on the website saying cash only. We had to walkback in the rain, with my sons melt down all the way home. We always check the website first just to make sure, but everything was fine!! But far from it. By the the time we had got changed we would of had 40mins tops, surely they could of let us in for that last 40mins as we pay every sunday. Thats the trouble with big companies if theres no cash or anyway of paying thats tough!! Where human kindness gone, it definatly gone from plainmoor FAMILY swimming pool!!! Thanks plainmoor for a ruined Sunday, the only day i have of work with my son, who has special needs. Thanks.

Great teachers, but the pool is always cold so lots of shivering teachers and students. The changing room toilets are also a bit dated and grubby, the floor is always puddled (not sure what you are stepping in), but we go because of the swim school. Parking is free and easy, which is another bonus and the staff always friendly.

Great pool and never too crowded. My son is just learning to swim and he loves coming here. The staff are polite and courteous, and the facilities are adequate and pretty clean for a small swimming pool. Could use some updating, but that goes for most of the pools in Torquay.
