Great swimming teachers, however you have to queue before your child lesson and after. Always running late. Very hot inside. It is nice if you can get a seat at the cafe to watch at your child swimming. Previous management was so much better!

For the sheer inaccessibility. Their SEO on Google is poor and you end up on the wrong company website not helped by the obscure name (why not Chichester Leisure Centre??); and then you figure out which site it is and their website makes it incomprehensible when working out if you can simply take your child and go have a swim. Then you phone to ask, and it rings out with no voicemail facility and you try calling again and it immediately cuts out like they've cancelled the call. You can leave an online contact form but no doubt theyll take 2 days to call back given how hard it's been so far to find an answer. They have lost potential custom and membership all for the sake of their poor comms.

Ever since the new management came in, it's been a nightmare . They've been ignoring all contact (contact forms , emails, phone calls) to cancel my membership (ive moved away) and no messages of acknowledgement either. It's already bad enough that the changing rooms were never cleaned and the toilets were never functional but refusing to let people cancel their membership when the services clearly aren't stellar? That's downright ridiculous . Other people i know have also been trying to cancel their membership, and any attempts at phone calls are never picked up. At least the old management allowed you to manage your membership online without any of this ado required.

Amazing pool for lane swimming. Now under new management who have made changes spoiling the experience for no reason other than it works in other centres. Very good at the corporate line, tell a good story but don't want to listen to the users.
