Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a fantastic pool. The changing rooms are extremely clean, well designed and easy to use. The swimsuit spinner is a nice extra touch. The pool itself is lovely to swim in: perfect temperature, wide 50m long lanes with markings every 5m on the bottom so you can gauge where you are. I swim here whenever I visit family in Tavistock and sometimes travel further just to have a really good swimming experience.

Not just an Olympic sized pool but one of London 2012 Olympic pools. Exceptionally cheap for such a facility (12 swim ticket for 30 quid), good changing facilities, lockers are a bit small though. Decent showers. All laned, directions given (clockwise or anti-clockwise) and level of swimmer for 4 of the lanes. Not over-used. Pull buoys and floats available for use. Can't recommend it high enough. Accessible to the public every day between 9am and 11am plus a few evenings.

I really enjoy swimming and the pool I a pleasant temperature. My only problem is that you have to duck under to change lanes, starting or getting out. I may be a wimp but I don’t like doing that and didn’t want to stay in the edge lanes which had the steps. Not nimble enough to leap out either.

At 6.45pm on 26/1/17 my son & his friend (both 16) were pushing their bikes up to the pool to look at session times & prices - a man who they thought was security ( grey hair & glasses) told them to leave as it was private property ( not local accent) my son attempted to speak to him & he responded by mocking my sons stammer - the man then took my sons friends hat off his head & squared up to him ( all this should be on cctv ) then informed them he was calling the police ! If this is the welcome local youngsters receive when showing interest in this supposedly for 'all' facility then Mount Kelly should be ashamed.

Red Bull's top 10 places to swim doesn't include Mount Kelly. They are missing a trick. I can only conclude that this is because it is off the scale! I swim in a wide range of pools. For scale of facility, cleanliness and pleasantness of staff, nothing ticks all the boxes like here.
The 5 metre numerals along the pool floor is a great thoughtful touch.
I was on holiday and swam on weekdays mid morning on 3 occasions. Excellent!

Mount Kelly public school has a large well equipped swimming centre with an enviable quality pool which is open to people who aren't members of the school for limited periods during the day. The access, facility and charges are all,described on the website. It is not unusual for independent schools (which have charitable status and tax breaks) to make some of their facilities available to their local communities, which is a good thing, especially when a pool of this size and standard is rare.

Awesome 50M pool plus a 25M pool. The general facilitates are great and so are the staff. Only wish i have is that it's quite a limited time table, would be great to have a few more afternoon sessions.
