Really helpful staff at the centre. Haven't been swimming for some time but really happy with the experience. The one thing that I was very impressed with was how clean the place is! I will be joining for sure!

Alright so…. The pools are good. Very good security assistance by professionals always watching and ready to help. Can’t talk about the gym yet.The changing rooms, omg the changing rooms!!! They are very very very badly managed. They have a no shoes policy in the changing room which is not enforced. People walk bare feet next to people with shoes and then go on to enter the pools without having a chance to wash their feet.Nobody seems to care btw, so you may not care too. I really hate that.Even cleaners use shoes around the pools and through the changing areas which they use outside the “clean” areas.Tried to address this and I’ve been told “that’s what it is”.I’d place at least a mandatory feet cleaning/disinfection area at the entrance of the pool side…But that’s just me.Book in advance.The app works fine.

Baby swimming lessons were great but the pool facilities are inadequate. There’s only two baby changing facility rooms which are usually occupied therefore providing no safe space to change your baby when a single parent.The pool temperature was always extremely cold, so much so that we had to stop our swimming lessons. The pool should be heated to 32 degrees and the pool felt more like 24 degrees, the babies always looked frozen.The changing rooms were unhygienic and dirty and appeared rarely cleaned. Swimming lessons were often cancelled and at short notice when we had already arrived at the pool.

Life guards sit and watch whilst inexperienced swimmers jump into the fast lane causing chaos. I get kicked in the face at least once each day by some one swimming down the middle of the fast lane doing breast stroke far too slowly while the life guards do absolutely nothing.

It used to be a good place for swimming lessons. Nowadays the lessons are crowdy and a bit chaotic. The toilets always stinks. We've never used the gym facilty so it's might be good.

Made several complaints here alongside other women. Women’s changing rooms often closed or reserved for schools. No women’s only swim. Often angry or aggressive men in the pool - when I got pushed the lifeguard was uninterested. Often the pool was so hot I’d break into a sweat immediately. I emailed a complaint as well but nothing was done so haven’t been back since. It did not feel like a safe environment.Furthermore they close half the pool unannounced for schools - fine but it should tell you when you book - and they have to keep a lane empty between you and the school? Often the lanes are set up incorrectly so that you’re swimming towards the oncoming person the other side.

We use for kids swimming lessons and activities. Nice to have a separated family pool for younger children. Main change room is unisex.

Used to enjoy swimming but now can never get a slot as consistently booked up, and when there is space it's just for lane swimming! What's happened to family fun?? Are we not a wound this any more?
