As a kid this experience is totally a 5 star, pee in the pool with excitement experience, there is a little cafe where you can have chips and fizzy pop with your friends after hours of fun in the pool. As an adult, it holds all the excitement but doesn't quite deliver. We are grown-ups after all and a big plastic snake is only believable up to a point. It's worth it if you really like flumes though as they are pretty fast. I was call in advance first as sometimes they don't have enough staff to have them all open at once.

Many activities go on here, parties can be held here in the soft play area. Food is average. Nice to have a decent cup of coffee and a relax whilst kids burn off their energy. Soft play area is of reasonable size and is clean and well maintained. My favourite activity here is the after school bowling for schoolchildren which is available term time, costing only £1.75 per child, not bad for a couple of hours entertainment, although once treats and drinks are added (Although optional) the cost builds up.

A must for art deco lovers and bathing beauties, Saltdean Lido is a fabulous, art deco lido that…read morehas been open since the 1930s. Designed by the architect R WH Jones, it's a stunning, two storey building that looks like the front of an ocean liner with curved windows and a long, sweeping balcony. There's sun terraces with loungers, a curved pool big enough to fit five hundred swimmers in and a smaller, child friendly pool. Since being refurbished to a high standard at the end of the nineties, there's also a cute cafe selling tea and cakes, changing rooms and toilets - which should all help you brave the biting winds and try your hand at some front-crawl of breast-stroke. Naturally, this being England the Lido is shut in the Autumn and Winter and re-opens annually every Spring til mid September. There's direct buses from Churchill Square in Brighton and if its a windy day, it's well worth phoning in advance to check the pool is definitely open.

The last few times i've been there with the kids the water has been cold, some or other facility has been unavailable or something along those lines. As a student, it's relatively cheap to get in but that's pretty much the only good point for me. That said, my kids thoroughly enjoy it every time they go. The people that currently run the centre on behalf of the council are undertaking a renovation program so once that is completed, i'll revise my review if warranted.

It's no good for serious swimmers as it's mostly filled with children, blow up balls, and slides. It's not too expensive to have a swim here which is always a good thing as swimming has become a little more costly over the last few years. There is a cafe inside so if you want to spectate rather than swim then you can sit with a coffee or some chips. It's a good pool for some family fun.

It cost £5.30 for two and a half hours skating with a resident DJ playing tunes. The hire skates were in reasonable condition and using my usual trick of studding handkerchiefs down the side of the skates to stabilise my ankles, they fit quite well The rink is Olympic sized but was still busy on Friday evening. It was mainly a young crowd here but the behaviour was quite good, probably as alcohol wasn't available. Although not the best or most experienced ice skater, I still had fun and was even able to have a few forays into the middle of the rink with the aid and support of my friend. By the end of the evening, there was quite a lot of melted slush on the surface but for the number of skaters, the ice held up well.

Fairly easy trek and you pass a lido close by which I keep meaning to visit when the suns out. So Spectrum is an ice skating, multi leisure pool and ten pin bowling experience - we normally get a combi ticket for ten pin bowling and swimming. Pools first - in fact 4 pools to cater for everyone's needs. The main pool is strictly leisure plus a diving pool with springboard, 3m, 5m and 10m boards, a 25m lane pool, and a kids shallow pool. Good selection of slides for all ages but none of them contenders, The kids enjoy the three lane race slide best. This is geared for family fun - the slides are all pretty slow and short - they snake around the pool within the building which means they are never going to be long enough for any speed. Shower jets, wave machine, bubble jets,inflatable ring slide. various little kids slides. Main pool is simply too small and is always uncomfortably busy - pretty poor wave machine. Sessions are 90mins (we always mange to overstay) - not really long enough but good value at £15 for an adult and two under 10's. Unless your kids are in swimming clubs its pretty hard to find a pool where they can dive in London any more. Over the last 10 years practically all of them have brought in diving bans for health an safety reasons. Pools we used to dive at wont let us now. But Spectrum is like no other for diving. So kids can dive in the 25m lane pool - a great start - perfect for my 9 year old to practice her racing dives. But the diving pool is the wildest of all - 3 boards in action at the same time - you can somersault, run, jump, dive, spin - yes actually have some fun - all the other diving pools we know are really strict about one at a time and what you can do. Awesome - worth the four stars alone. You get lots of people just watching and the queue that snakes around the pool show how much the kids love it.. Grim Wimpy burger bar (yes they still exist) - this is really, really awful - and a Costa upstairs - they do pizzas in the basement bowling area. Loads of green space outside for picnics - which is what we normally do. We probably visit a couple of times a year - the main pool looks good but kind of flatters to deceive - but the diving is just the best. Skating rink ls large and we will use one time we visit . Its great having the bowling as it makes for a proper day out. Recommended - despite the main leisure pool probably being best suited for under 10s with not much thrill factor.

Brighton has many health clubs but this is arguably the best. The one problem is it's location as…read moreit is a few miles away from any sort of housing by car. This then leads to the argument that if your guna drive to the gym to go for a run you might as well just go for a run. However, it is the whole set of facilities that make every session that little bit better. With indoor/outdoor swimming pools, a great gym, tennis courts, badminton courts, physios, steam room, sauna and spa but to name a few, the facilities are vast. I always feel that if you are going to do fitness you need to do cardio and weight training as both are necessary for good all round fitness. Then you need a reward which is when the sauna and steam rooms come in. This place isn't cheap but if you go on the website you can get a free days membership so you can see what your missing out on. Creche facilities as well so having kids is no excuse!!!
