Kids loved it. The water slides were fun and they loved the waves. Sessions are just long enough too, even thou the kids wouldve stayed all day if they could lol. Changing rooms were clean, but locker room floor rather slippery. Remember to pack at least one 20pence piece for the lockers. We needed 2 as a family of 5. We will definitely be back soon.

I’ve only been a member since January but am swimming every day! My Partner has recently joined on the brilliant’refer a friend’ scheme and we are loving Pilates with Ivan on a Sunday… great teacher and lovely way to start the day. All staff are very professional and friendly- next thing to do is book our Gym induction and get a program made up. Would recommend joining 👍

Visited this morning with my 3-year-old for the Tot session and was highly disappointed. The water was cold and the sprinklers were not on, so it was basically just a cold, flat swimming pool experience. I’m glad I checked it out before organising a group session because it felt like a waste of money. The staff seemed young and uninterested. If you’re running a session from 8am–9am, it should be fully set up and treated like any other session from the moment it starts. We didn’t choose this time slot specifically — it was simply the only session suitable for a parent and a toddler. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations. Not worth the travel. My local pool would have sufficed.
