Does anyone go here or have been here recently? Looking for somewhere to take the little un for when I come down for the Accrington game next month. I've been to the pool at Exeter and it's dirty and sh*t, a bit like their footy team :~D (ooh, bit of vitriol there ) and can't find much else on the old t'interweb.

Thanks all, appreciated.

I presume you mean this one Andy?

Yeah that's the one Danny. Thanks mate. I just wondered if anybody has been and if so is it a dump or very well recommended.

to swim in the river side pool is much better than the pyramids in Exeter

but with a little one the Riveria centre isn't bad, havent been there in a few years used to be really popular, sure it still is as Plainmoor pool is just for basic swimming

Used to swim in Exeter it's not that bad... unless you're talking about Pyramids in which case it is awful. As for the Riviera, great place, love it! Not sure if the wave machine is still going?

I would recommend it Andy. Best place to go in the Bay.

How old is your little one? I take my 4 year old most weekends and he loves it. The waves come every half an hour for about 5 mins which he loves and there is a small slide and an apparatus with water coming out (you'll need to see it). Reasonably priced as well - remember to get the voucher from your parking ticket(£3). It can give you either £1.50 off the swim or £3 off if you eat in the cafe.

Depending on the weather it can get quite busy from about 10-1030 onwards. Opens at 9.

But be warned, it is not the warmest pool!!

Cheers for that NA. My little un is also 4. Sounds like the one we use up here in Mansfield so it will be great for her. Thanks again.

Had a great time here last weekend. Cut it fine though and was nearly late for the match but it was ok for the price. Could do with a few slides for 5 years and above kids but our kid enjoyed it. Will go again next time I'm down with the family for sure.

It's quite a good pool really although the centre itself is massively under used most of the time.

If you're ever holidaying down Cornwall, Hendra has an excellent pool for kids (and adults). You can use the £10 breakfree holiday vouchers too.
