I was struggling to book lessons for my children so I went to the centre for assistance. I met Ellie at the reception and she was so patient and extremely helpful. She made it so easy for me and showed us around the facility as it was our first time there. Thank you so much Ellie. You are a star.
π Family Action Verdict
Strong choice for families wanting a low-pressure community pool with attentive staff. Staff personally assist with bookings and class navigation. Toddlers have suitable shallow water. Those prioritising children's swimming lesson quality should scrutinise lesson formats β some sessions have included poolside-only instruction.

βI met Tawa today at Pilates class, she was incredibly supportive as I wasnβt sure what I was doing. Tawa was welcoming and helpful. This was important to me because it massively helped me with my body circulation and I found this class to be relaxing. Definitely booking for next week.β

βGreat place. Smaller that huge but offers a good range of classes, a small but great gym and a super swimming pool. Trainers and admin staff are very helpful. Itβs very clean too.β

βThey have change the music selection since March 2026 and this has totally ruined the experience. Instead of pleasing songs they are using not very good copycat versions of well known tracks with extra deafening bass notes so you canβt hear instructions. I would rather pay a few quid extra for proper music. One of our favourite classes by Yola has gone because she carefully choreographed routines to fit in with her music but couldnβt get them to work with the new regime. Very unhappy.β
