King Alfred Leisure Centre brighton

Lots of activities go on here.Badminton,roller disco,swim clubs lots of others...Pool is a good size,always has slow and fast lanes..Pool can be quite cold sometimes..I've always stayed for about an hour and a half..gets too cold after that.showers are sometimes blocked.It has it's own Gym which has replaced the old cafe.Never seems to busy. I only go for the swimming.. Adult swim is £5.10 which I think is quite dear..my daughter has a freedom leisure card so we go holidays/weekends and after 3.30pm after school..

The whole place needs an overhaul. The pool is shabby, overcrowded with lots of dirt on the floor of it. The changing rooms are grim - broken lockers, filthy toilets. Staff are pleasant, doing their best with poor facilities. Brighton & Hove needs to provide something so much more modern, hopefully it will get the renovation it requires someday soon.

Please avoid the swimming pool if you are a slow-lanes swimmer. As a health and fitness writer, it's important to me that people attain wellbeing in safety and with a smile on their face, yet King Alfred's pool is no place for the beginner-swimmer. The pool is often divided into two slow lanes, a medium-pace lane and a fast lane, and it is simply unsafe for novice swimmers, the elderly and the disabled to use their designated two lanes. There are solipsistic swimmers who, frustrated by the crowding in the fast/medium lanes, simply torpedo down the slow ones, causing danger. One woman was even diving and doing handstands in between lapping us slow-lane users every 30 seconds. The lifeguards are unwilling to enforce the lane requirements. This is extremely dangerous and makes a mockery of the council's supposed commitment to health and safety. Avoid King Alfred's if you have an alternative option (many of us don't).

A very good swimming pool, love doing my dives in the deep end

The swimming pool is great as they have a kids section with a structure which acts as a waterfall. The pool is quite big and there is also a slide which is simple but still very popular. They also have membership cards for children under 18 so they can swim free. You have to take shoes off before going into the changing rooms but they could get stolen as many people leave them at the entrance (so take with you and put in locker). Overall very good staff and site :)

The aqua aerobics class was excellent. The pool and changing areas were clean. Downsides however...many of the cabinets in the changing area lacked keys or were broken. Walls show impact damage and the centre needs refurbishment. I did think about membership but no details were available...just a referral to look online...which didn't help (you have to call them...!).

Had a great time in the adventure golf, definitely the best one in Brighton. There's a arcade safari jeep track and trampolines. We all had a really good day. Definitely recommend this place the kids loved it especially the dinosaur adventure golf. I loved the burger and coffees and easy parking next to the King Alfred.

Nice swimming pool with space for group sports and a gym. Yoga, pilates and body balance

Really good, my son would go every day if he could

A great small gym . Very friendly atmosphere. Not at all intimidating. Lovely views over the sea and the swimming pool .
