It was my daughter's first session today and she absolutely loved it (so much that she didn't want to get out of the pool). Staff are great with kids and lessons are fun. Nice and clean inside the baths too.

Megan

The facilities are excellent and very well presented. The viewing gallery for parents is fantastic. My son very much enjoyed his first session and can't wait to go back next week

Tom

My son came to his first swimming lesson this week, the place and the staff were absolutely excellent. I accidentally booked my son into the wrong class and luckily there was a space for him to switch. They put him in the lower class so we could work out what was best for him. The staff kept coming in to update me and were SO helpful and kind. Everyone was so helpful and nice! My son absolutely loved it too! Would definitely recommend.

Rebecca

Amazing teachers got my boy swimming when he’s so scared in water. My boy said his teacher was a ‘lovely lady’ and he can’t wait to go back. She helped him swim on his back which he has never done before and he even got star of the week! I would definitely recommend we can’t wait to come back
