Dolphin Leisure Centre

Showing it's age

15 May 08, 10:53 As expected

Rebranded as Olympus, but will always be the Dolphin to locals. Was Mid Sussex's first indoor pool when it opened in the seventies but is beginning to show it's age. The pool is rather odd, 33 metres, so no good for cometition swimming and with two shallow ends and a deep middle! There are no slides, rapids or wave machines and the much missed diving pool closed a few years ago to become the plunge pool for the new private Health club. The one thing in it's favour is a fantastic, seperate learner pool where thousands of youngsters have learnt to swim over the years. Extensions have been built with squash courts etc. but you wonder how many years the centre has left in it; especially as there are persistent rumours that Mid Sussex District Council might move it's campus to the site.

Fantastic classes great

I have been a member of this gym for the last two years. They cater for all fitness levels with Pool, Gym, Classes and small cafe.

Top membership rather pricey, and classes not always available as people tend to book them 3 weeks in advance.

A good alternative to expensive gyms!

If you don't like the thought of spending a fortune on private gyms, the Dolphin Leisure Centre is a good alternative. It is never too busy to get on the equipment and the staff are always friendly - i also like the fact you can pay as you go if you want to, as you don't have to commit to 12 months.
