Ascot Vale Leisure Centre - Ascot Vale (VIC)

3 /5 kibret Messalea: ​I’ve been a member at Ascot Vale Leisure Centre for nearly five years. On the positive side, its a wonderful place to catch up with friends, and I’ve always enjoyed the sauna facilities, which are spacious with two rooms. The 8 PM closing time on Sundays is also a major convenience. ​However, there are some significant downsides. The centre closes for maintenance very frequently, and Ive found it extremely difficult to get a response from customer service. My biggest disappointment was when I cancelled my subscription; after five years of loyalty, they charged me a two-week fee, which I felt was an unfair policy.

5 /5 Bolortungalag Ganbold: We’ve been having a wonderful experience so far with instructor Kayhan. He is fun, passionate, and patient instructor who makes every class enjoyable and engaging. Highly recommend this swim school for little learners!

3 /5 Giuseppe: Have noticed that lots of people start swimming classes for their kids here & then move elsewhere. The instructors are great, but the classes have too many kids (this morning our son’s class had 9! Children participating in one half hour class), feels like a bit of a money grab. The staff that work in the centre are mainly kids & don’t really have answers to a lot of questions & in our personal experience made mistakes & left us to deal with the consequences of that. We tried to book private lessons but the centre never responded so we have moved elsewhere. A shame as this has always been my local go to since I was a child

5 /5 alida sabilla: Came today for my swim teaching class with LSV in the morning at 10am. Shout out to the girl at the front office today (who I regretly didn’t ask for her name) she helped me above and beyond with my tiny incident. If all the swimming staff has an empathetic helpful attitude towards others just like her. Leisure centres will have such positive impacts bringing the community together. Thank you so much!

2 /5 K T: I give the gym 5 stars. Good equipment (lots of recent new additions too) - nice staff. I give the pool 1 star. The pool is dreadful. I have been coming here for ten years for swimming lessons. It is incredibly hot inside as a spectator (which I have no option not to be because my kids are having lessons). They don’t seem to operate any air conditioning or even fans half the time. It’s the beginning of March and I didn’t see any fans in February. It’s even boiling in winter in the pool to have to watch your kids at swimming lessons. Staff say no one complains about the pool temperature? Come on, that’s ridiculous, I have been here ten years and plenty of people do find the pool atmosphere too hot. Also the toilets / change areas in the pool are a mess. I expect them to be a little messy but I’ve given up showering my kids here at all after being confronted with piles of pubic hair on the floor several times recently. I know it’s hard to keep public toilets clean with high foot traffic but that’s a bit much. Again your gym is great. Your overall facility it great. Your pool not great not even good. Edit - swimming lessons used to be mainly ok but have gone down hill. Putting kids back in the kiddie pool to prioritise more open lanes for the public? It is what it is and public need room too but it shows a lower priority for swimming lesson customers but we are still charged same price. The older kids do four strokes of the kiddie pool and hit the other end or are made swim around in a square for a longer lap because there is no room. Just not that stimulating for them or helping with stamina
