Leisure World: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Decent little pool for kids swimming in that surrounding, well maintained!
Positive experience: Overall, the staff and receptionist are great, but there are two female safeguards whose behavior is concerning. They are very rude and struggle to communicate effectively with children. Unfortunately, I don't know their names. I kindly request that you consider uploading your team’s names and photos on your website to make it easier for us to provide feedback about the right staff members. Additionally, it may be helpful to reduce their working hours or provide them with training. Yesterday, one of these female safeguard members misbehaved with my little boy.
Positive experience: Crowded school holidays so did exercise in gym
Fantastic experience: Good place for people of all ages to accommodate!
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Happy faces. Good environment.
Fantastic experience: Gym, swim are my main uses. I used to go to a privately run gym/pool and twice lost my membership when they went bankrupt. No problem here. I find staff helpful and friendly.
Positive experience: Not too crowded at all. But the water was really cool and quite a strong Chlorine smell today
Fantastic experience: i used to go to the junior gym in 2014, i only recently came back to lesire world thornlie, and i'm impressed and suprised about what they have done to the entire place, most of it brings back memories which is good but its good to see its still practically the same as it was when i was there, i go to the gym now its great there, the staff are cool and very patient, love it there
Fantastic experience: Ladies at the front desk are very kind and always willing to assist, several different services are available and they also offer FIRST AID TRAINING but have to book online.
Fantastic experience: Great fertilities friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Pleasant place for swimming or hydrotherapy, cafe is ok could stock more food and more variety of hot food
Fantastic experience: I would like to commend Thornlie Leisure Centre for their exceptional customer service and friendly staff. The team's dedication to providing the best experience reflects their professionalism and commitment to excellence. I highly recommend Thornlie Leisure Centre for its outstanding service.
Positive experience: Beautiful swimming pool with cleanliness and safe environment. Just not giving 5 stars due to poor customer service. It needs to improve. Thanks.
Positive experience: I attended the gym at 9 am. It was busy & a type of fitness class was happening at the same time, which was challenging for certain equipment. It's a small gym, so you do need to at times wait for equipment
Positive experience: Use it 4 times a week for aquaerobics.
Positive experience: Great fitness place for everyone
Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff, lovely warm pool and showers. Good value for money too.
Positive experience: Have to beg to get extra walking lane when we have disabled and people doing rehab as well as just walkers Sometimes 5 swimming lanes with 2 people using them Very disheartening.
Positive experience: The staff are exceptional, very helpful, and courteous. Unfortunately, on occasion, we had to wait for 45 minutes for the Disability accessible shower change room while two children mucked around inside. The staff were very obliging trying to find a solution. Great staff.
Fantastic experience: Clean, heated pool. Great for kids.
Positive experience: Great time had today from a scorching hot house swimming at the pool was awesome
Positive experience: Good Local swimming pool, but too small for the area during weekend and specially during school holidays having swimming lessons and no where to swim because most of the lanes are reserved for lessons. Better to Avoid during school holidays.
Positive experience: This is my local. Swim laps. Or just walk.
Negative experience: Be nice if they cleaned the sauna , spa an steam room more, and fix unsightly holes in ceilings ,
Hi Mathew, thanks for your feedback. We are happy to share that an upgrade of our wellness area is scheduled to commence in January 2024.
Positive experience: Strange lighting and always humid inside as expected.. but hardly place for a quick cool down swim
Positive experience: Avoid swimming lesson times, its just too crowded and too chlorinated. Sometimes stuffy and humid. Squad swimming is now all direct debit instead of pay by the term which is annoying. Spa is closed from start of year until April... really?
Positive experience: All in all pretty good, but changerooms and showers Very dated, overdue for refit.
Fantastic experience: Kids love to go there, friendly staffs, clean and a nice coffee shop. been there both in winter and hot summer.
Negative experience: I would like to see people actually following the swimming pool rules fast , medium,slow If you are walking don’t be in the fast lane if you can’t swim please practice in the slow or walking lanes I realize this can not be controlled by the staff I just hope others user’s will read this and think this could be me an consider others who want to swim laps consistently
Negative experience: Would not trust the life guards as they do no watch the kids on the slides. Very dangerous as iv seen a thu kids today almost get in a accident. I even ent up to tell the management and nothing happened. Big ups for the first life guard that we're actually doing there job. Can't say the same for the next two.
Hi Darren, we have safety measures in place for the slide. It is only open when a lifeguard is available to control the flow of traffic and ensure there are gaps between riders. They also monitor the slide pool to make sure riders exit the pool safely. Leisure World has not had any reported issues with this system. Please email us with further details at [email protected]
Fantastic experience: Great place for kids and family swimming and events
Negative experience: My request from the leisure world through the swimming pool is, please open the water slide earlier before 11 AM on weekends for kids. Weekends are the only days parents can spend time with kids. And kids love water slides. Please open it before 11 AM so kids can enjoy the swimming g pool.
Fantastic experience: Loved the thornlie pools, the lifeguards seem really tēnse not sure why but all in all the kids and I loved our day therr. We were there from 11am to 4.30pm, we only left because we seen the guards starting to pack up lol. The kids enjoyed the side too
Positive experience: Too much rush
Fantastic experience: Cafe inside is alright
Positive experience: Not enough space with swimming lessons
Negative experience: The lady Erin is very rude, good to find somewhere else
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly enjoyed my exercise in the pool
Positive experience: The spa sauna and steam room could do with a upgrade to being to small to have lots of people in
Negative experience: Very rude staff member specially at front desk, and the ladies staff was yelling on kids too which is so rude, Don't bother going
Hi Ahsan, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear of your experience and will pass this feedback on to the team.
Positive experience: Good pool, family change rooms are bit limited and people take ages to change
Fantastic experience: Great facilities for the whole family to enjoy plus plenty of free parking
Fantastic experience: Great place great staff and very very clean place, swimming pool, steam rooms, gym and male and female locker rooms
Positive experience: A good experience pool, the pool temperature was comfortable, staff were polite and helpful.
Positive experience: Good place to take the kids on a hot day. A heads up, steer clear off the coffee/snack shop.
Positive experience: Thornlie Leisureplex was ok, but not what my family member thought it would be, and wants to try another pool. The Staff customer service was excellent.
Fantastic experience: Love this place offers excellent value, great staff wonderful pool and Gym programs perfect for anyone wanting to get fit and stay fit
Positive experience: Reasonable venue but the spa area is well overdue for an overhaul. Probably only 3 jets actually work well. Friendly staff.
Negative experience: Very poor hygiene level. Water disgusting dirty. It is hard to describe how bed situation is there. Hope my little one will be no ill .
Hi Pirlu, thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Safety and cleanliness are very important to us at Leisure World and our pools are tested daily to ensure the safety of our patrons. Recently we have had plant room issues that are currently being addressed. We trust our water will be up to the highest standard again shortly. If you would like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 9397 3000 or email [email protected]
Negative experience: The water in this pool is really filthy. It is not being cleaned properly! Their are chips floating around, bandaids everywhere and tiny particles of dirt thought the water everywhere you move. The pool by slide was the worst. I counted 4 bandaids in the slide pool and it was really murky.
Hi Romaine, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. Cleanliness is important to us and we will pass on your feedback to the team. We have three cleaners in the pool each night but with temperatures in the high 30’s unfortunately this can happen despite our best efforts.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place, Been going here for over 25 years. Staff are always friendly, lifeguards are always on duty and attentive and it's a good atmosphere most of the time.
Hi Liam, thank you for this lovely feedback! We will pass it on to the team.
Negative experience: We have been here for 2 years and the assessment teacher only let's the other children pass even thoe they can't even do freestyle my son can do breastbone but she doesn't let him pass!
Hi Amandeep, we would like to assist you. Could you please email [email protected] or call 9251 8700?
Positive experience: Big clean pool, there's also a sauna, spa and steam room in the wellness suite. Cafe by d'pool is literally by the pool, nice affordable food. Very helpful staff at the front desk. There's also a gym and an aerobics room, many classes available.
Negative experience: The most unclean swimming pool in Perth in my opinion. I have been going to this place for over 11 years now. Last week I took my son for a swim and he got very sick afterwards. You could see the water was so filthy. They workers around the water don’t do proper job all lazy lads standing and talking to each other. They should check the cleanliness of the water every now and then to make sure it’s not unsafe for swimming. Idk how many other kids got sick that day. I won’t go back to this place ever again.

Fantastic experience: It's the best place that has all leisure facilities under one roof. My whole family enjoys our weekly swim classes there. The fees per lesson are very affordable.
Positive experience: Good little pool for kids, aqua aerobics, swimming lessons, and doing laps in the designated lanes. Their gym is a great, cheaper alternative with different levels of memberships that might be more suitable for your lifestyle. The gym isn't 24hrs. Opening hours are: Monday - Friday 5 am-9 pm Saturday - Sunday 7 am - 2pm
Positive experience: Facilities are close and convenient. I think the city of Gosnelss should improve and upsize to a bigger one. Maybe the olympic size?. The population of this council has grown for the last 10 years. And sometimes the swimming classes are packed
Negative experience: I came to the reception to get a gym membership, the lady totaly understands that english is not my native language, I ask about the prices, she gives me the information paper,I ask about the 2 weeks membership, she tells me something about the Credit card/ bank payment which I dont totaly understand because as I said, english is not my language, so I ask if I can pay cash and once again she looks at me like saying « you are the most stupid person I’ve ever seen » as she did when I started talking in english. I left, she judges me for not Having the most fluent english, I wonder How high is her french level
Positive experience: Great pool. Just not sure what's going on with the lighting or the slide. Slide never open Lighting cuts out frequently
Hi Shannon, thank you for taking the time to review. The energy efficient lighting at Leisure World is sensor driven and reacts to the levels of daylight entering the building. The slide has been closed recently as works were being undertaken to the stairs and handrails. It will be open more regularly over the summer months.
Positive experience: The service from the staff was great, good amount of space to swim. The only downside was the showers and change table station was not convenient, trying to shower off and change a baby in a room full of people pushing past you was unpleasant.
Fantastic experience: My daughter has been doing swimming lessons here for over 12 months & we love it. The swim teachers Sharon & Jana are fantastic. Plenty of parking and a decent cafe. My only want is that there were more family change rooms.
Positive experience: Has been a fabulous place for our children’s swimming. Highly recommend it. But for adult swimming or walking… there is always someone walking in the medium swim lane, an angry person in the walking lane and a speed swimmer in the slow lane . They are never asked to move by staff unless other swimmers ask staff to do something. But from watching… they seem to just give up and leave.
Positive experience: Pool was clean and nice but was only 90m. Rather Sauna & steam bath was small. But altogether with Gym & above services at one place, is a good option to opt specially when you are living nearby to Thornlie.
Positive experience: Pools were great. Not overly humid with a strong chlorine smell like they normally have so was a nice change. My 5yr old fell over and hit his head, nothing serious, but they were right on it. Life saver came straight over, check him over and then proceeded with an ice pack, coherency test and incident report.
Positive experience: Swimming pool family friendly from shallow pool to lane pool. Shallow pool is warm and converging to cold lane pool. Shallow pool predominantly kids friendly. There are also gym, spa, sauna and steam room perfect all rounder place for exercise. Place is well maintained, may due for modern make over else it’s perfect onestop exercise.
Fantastic experience: My son loved going to the swimming pool for his lessons as the swimming teacher and the staff is very freiendly and the coach do regular swim assessments to see where he is at and what he does need to work on
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff who are very helpful, clean gym, warm pool & awesome spa. Bathrooms are always clean just wet obviously with the pool there. Highly recommend if you need a gym + love a swim after
Fantastic experience: This is nice cup of tea
Negative experience: The service is as cold, dingy and unpleasant as the facility.
Positive experience: At least this place is close to the people of Thornlie but no 50m pool
Negative experience: There are men swimming in their white underwear atm. Staff are totally blind…..after what I just saw I wish I was!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Natalie,Leisure World staff enforces the correct wearing of swimming attire, however on this occasion we may have missed the this, but thank you for bringing it to our attention. Staff have been reminded of the policy in regards to appropriate swimming attire and will endeavour to enforce this moving forward into the future.Thank you
Positive experience: pretty good gym with reasonable prices, gym supervisors are great too
Positive experience: Great for kids _learn to swim & junior squads and walkers and exercises_ not really great for strong swimmers or long distance swimmers
Positive experience: Prices are good centre could do with a upgrade in the spa area
Fantastic experience: Unexpected beautiful inside, spacious and comfortable. Excellent place to visit often.
Positive experience: I seen the only lifeguard disappear into the office for a good 15mins. So if something was to happen who do you look for.
Hi Stewart, thank you for reaching out. Leisure World is committed to the safety of our patrons, at all times there will be a minimum of two qualified staff at the centre.During any breaks or other duties away from the pool a second Lifeguard will be on duty or the Centre Supervisor who is also a qualified lifeguard will be monitoring the pools.When on a shift the Lifeguard will take breaks, as it is vitally important to maintain focus and readiness when guarding the pools.
Positive experience: Needs to be cleaner please. I had to clean my own table and chairs before sitting down and feeding the kids before their swim.
Hi, thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. We are sorry to hear of your experience. Leisure World Café is managed by a third-party and we will be sure to pass your feedback on to them.
Negative experience: Wow, Thornlie pool has improved. From being absolutely filthy during the Xmas school holidays with visible bits of rubbish floating around on the pool bottom, it now has only sand in the swimming lanes. Water temp is always good, around 32degrees. Main pool is 25m, & has 8 lanes, not very big & gets overcrowded when there're school swimming lessons/lap swimmers/general public -sometimes the rows over space can be "entertaining". -Staff, besides being a shining example of not cleaning the pool bottom, & surrounds (it takes years of neglect to achieve the ingrained grubby floor colour), are not proactive with supervision. Good thing the whole pool is under video camera surveillance. In addition to the nanny-cam supervision, when your gear is stolen, staff will track back to locate the thief & your missing gear. So helpful! Staff are also a good lesson to children on life's inequalities -where they are sometimes hot on children swimming in the wrong lane but are suddenly "absent/otherwise occupied" when an aggressive male is not only in the wrong area but also acting out/brutalising his child in both main pool & children's pool. Luckily, change rooms are consistent: always have something broken/not working (leaking taps, unuseable showers, jammed toilet flushers or blocked sinks). Shower stalls are too small to hang your bag inside on the solitary hook without it getting wet, unless you leave shower door partly open. -So good for baring all your bits & bobs & losing all shame. The shower stalls are also bare of any benches. However, there has been a wonderful improvement; the foul drain smell has gone. (Edit: Three weeks later, swings & roundabouts: the drains have returned to their normal foul smell, yet no blocked toilets/handbasins & all showers supposedly working!) Oh, extra bonus during heavy rain: swimming with raindrops; the roof leaks over main pool area. Millions must have been spent on this architecturally designed building & fancy roof-line that can't keep out inclement weather.
Positive experience: Encountered with a very rude staff member at front desk on my first day, put me off so much that i wanted to cancel kids class. And then i haven't had to deal with her again. The swimming teacher seems like they care unlike some in Cannington leasureplex. Not too crowded like Cannington leasureplex so kids can move around in the water without touching other people.
Fantastic experience: Great place to relax and wind down in the sauna, steam room or spa. That's all I need and use it for. I see alot of kids there having fun and enjoying the experience aswell. Great staff too. Thanks for your services and keep up the great work.
Positive experience: I just moved to the area and was excited to see I lived so close to the swimming pool! The pools are great, HOWEVER the changing/showering/locker facilities are really bad. I was hoping to be able to go for a swim before work in the morning but with rubbish showers, no hairdryers or mirrors or any private change rooms with seating I think that's not going to work for me. This place desperately needs a renovation, and the layout is a little strange too, the change rooms are a bit of a walk from the pool - just felt a little disjointed in my opinion. Hopefully they have an upgrade in the pipeline as it's such a shame it's so run down and not upto modern standards. A little more care/attention and friendliness from reception staff wouldn't go amiss either - I told her I was new and then had to ask where everything was, would have hoped she would have heard I was new then explained where the change rooms/lockers are but that's just great customer service which I think is a little lacking this morning unfortunately.
Fantastic experience: I had my son’s 11th birthday here! It was an amazing experience with great customer service and amazing team who made the day soo much easy and full of fun for the kids. Everything was all organized by the amazing team. If you looking for easy and fun and less hassle I definitely recommend this place for birthday parties
Fantastic experience: Great very professional great training facilities.
Fantastic experience: Very helpful
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and fantastic staff.
Fantastic experience: Good old place, needs a lot renovating but it's serving it's propose. Good trainers for swimming classes
Positive experience: Needs a deep pool.
Positive experience: LOVE OUR LOCAL SWIM CENTRE
Positive experience: Great pool and slide is for ages 5-15 years.
Positive experience: Has all the basics and a cafe that does good coffee.
Negative experience: Promise charging more than other leisure which is limited time but I called to riverton leisureplex they got unlimited time and no need booking
Positive experience: Friendly staff and good facilities, great outdoor pool, a bit outdated spa areas and often maintenance events.
Positive experience: I go there every day for swim&spa lovely staff nice people friendly atmosphere
Negative experience: City of Gosnells, I am newish to this area and found your Thornlie pool good but not great. It is so shallow there is no deep end to excercise in. I know this can't be changed but come on can't you speed up the proposed swimming pool for canning vale / southern river and will it have a deep end? The are no gyms nearby that have swimming pools either. Nearest pool with a semi deep end is Riverton, can't determine which one is closer. Whilst on the subject take a leaf out of the Broome St Highgate puppy park and get us some more dog parks with trees and particularly doggy drinking fountains for the summer at Brookland Greens park.
Fantastic experience: Love this swimming pool it is clean - the cafe here is quite nice and clean. It can get busy sometimes in the pools during the week - the renovations has made a difference to the place
Negative experience: Great pool & sauna. But staff always busy on phone and have to queue very long . Very staff not friendly. Very rude & argumative
Negative experience: I am happy with the physical aspects of the place, and the food at the cafe is excellent. The problem here is that if you ever have any personal safety, verbal harassment or physical harassment happen to you, it needs to be dealt with by the police. Some staff do not communicate amongst each other, don't follow the appropriate policies (duty of care) and in my circumstance, have you leave the establishment rather than deal with the offender. I have been victim blamed here, and even after there was CCTV proof of me being harassed, there was no record on the system of anything happening. I'd like to clearly state that all lifeguards have been absolutely amazing and I thank them immensely for this. However, specifically supervisor Kylie is extremely condescending, and dismissive, I've never seen another human being care so little about another who has just gone through a traumatic experience. This is a COMMUNITY and FAMILY centre. More CCTV should be added closer to the spa area, and lifeguards should check on that area much more often, as they rarely do so. With improved safety precautions this place could become an excellent centre.
Fantastic experience: Easily accessible and good parking. Pools are clean and well-attended.
Positive experience: Reasonably priced with spa sauna and gym plus classes. Pool is only 25m but rare for it to ever be crowded especially outside of summer and school holidays etc. Good staff.
Fantastic experience: That's the best place to visit.
