Paul Stringfellow 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great place. Clean, well managed and clean excellent facilities.

Chantelle Louise Welsh 2 years ago

Positive experience: 1 star deduction for the swim booking system. How do people secure their chosen times - is there a special method that I'm missing out on? It's near impossible to secure a regular slot since restrictions eased after this second lockdown. I have been told they are aware of this issue and trying to find solutions to give everyone a fair chance. 5 stars for reception/customer service, overall experience with staff is excellent. The swimming area is one of the cleanest cubicles and changing room space I've ever used and I'm a extreme fuss pot when it comes to hygiene. Pool is lovely, tranquil and most swimmers I come across here are friendly and respectful. Recommend...IF you can grab a slot.

Ruth Serpentfrog 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent swimming centre! I go swimming here and my teacher Andrew is really kind and polite, overall the swimming centre is really nice and looks nearly the same as the pictures, I've only seen a bit of the other areas here and they are also look really good! Totally recommend going swimming here! \^o^/

Fantastic experience: Booked a birthday party for a large group of children on the Autism spectrum. The children had a wonderful time. There were at least 3 members of staff with the children the whole time. The staff were kind and extremely patient with the children and were constantly playing with them which helped all of them have a wonderful time. Cannot praise the young staff enough.

Fantastic experience: Great Classes, something for everyone! Not sure why people have to get personal with their reviews but anyway! Gym has everything that's needed but yes does get busy at peak times along with every other gym but that's not the gyms fault so I try to avoid these times! Nice staff and good crèche
