We go weekly. Could do with having more accessible parent and child swimming lessons. The current one is slap bang middle of the day, most people I know can't go because their child is sleeping, mine is too. I understand they can't please everyone Changing rooms and open planned so personally we use the disabled/baby changing room. A few times we have gone in to find no one on the front desk and lights off. That's a bit unwelcoming but overall, it gets the job done. A pleasant pool, quite warm too! Staff are friendly and understanding of my preference to change in the disabled/baby changing. They have a manual lift to help people in and out of the pool which I'd never seen before and think it's an AMZING idea! Very cheap too :) which is a bonus since we only spend upto 30 minutes in the pool.
