The staff are lovely and helpful but sadly it's doesn't offer a good range of classes for different times...All the classes are either mornings or evenings..there is nothing in the afternoons .Despite talking to the staff about preferences and what classes were liked nothing ever changes ..members were promised a new timetable last year ...that never happened..Then they got a new manager and still no change ...its jaded and uninspiring.

It's a nice quiet pool and well maintained. However my reason for 2stars is the pool temperature if the water. the minimum pool temperature for babies under 12lbs should be a recommended 32 degrees... Cold swimming pools can cause hyperthermia in babies. The staff assured me the pool was warm enough for babies as they have lessons there, but I got a temperature reading of 28!... After 15mins my baby was shivering. I think it's dangerous to state the pool is warm enough, when all documents online state absolutely no less than 30 degrees. I understand that in this economic environment the temperature will need to be reduced However it shouldn't be at the expense of safety.
