😠 Well.... how is this place not condemned? It's absolutely disgusting..... Where do I start? Chewing gum stuck to tiles on entry ramp into main pool... The children's pool is absolutely riddled in grime and mouldy grouting, The hand railings are just duct taped together near the spectators box T...

    Well.... how is this place not condemned? It's absolutely disgusting..... Where do I start? Chewing gum stuck to tiles on entry ramp into main pool... The children's pool is absolutely riddled in grime and mouldy grouting, The hand railings are just duct taped together near the spectators box The hand rails every where have rust and rust stains absolutely everywhere You aren't meant to take photos, obvious reason there are other pool users and children, however I couldn't resist to share evidence of this as many will deny the state of this swimming pool Changing rooms are full of mould and no cubicles at all within the men's no idea what the female changing rooms are like There are no family changing rooms If I could I'd rate this place lower than 1star which is a shame because it seems they've invested a load of money into the fitness suites and the areas surrounding the pool, This place has the potential to be a state of the art swimming arena and its just quite frankly a absolute dive... £6 per person seems fairly responsible, however there are much better facilities in the areas that for a pound more I don't feel like I have to wash in dettol afterwards... Safe to say we won't return, and I hope many others won't until this place has been refurbished I could continue on but for now... we will leave it as that

    Visited in Dec 23 during school holidays as family of 4 (Mum, Dad, 6 & 4 yr old). It's a solid, decent swimming pool for family and kids. It looks a bit dated, but: 1. The pool is good, 2. There's 2 decent areas for small kids who can't fully swim yet, 3. The slide is good and the fact parents can take small children on is really good and not something you see in many places anymore. 4. Wave machine - kids loved it. 5. It was quiet and there was no one asking us to leave after our hour was up (we stayed about 90 minutes). Cost about £25, there's not many cheaper swimming pools for a family of four. Would recommend and will go again.

    For 2 adults and 3 children it cost nearly £30 for 1 hour. On entry staff were lovely and shown us where to go. There are no family changing rooms just make and female. Female changing rooms were extremely busy with a block of 8 - 10 changing rooms. Cubicle with shower curtains. The pool has one big slide and and a mini children's slide. Waves came on for around 5 minutes. Kids enjoyed it but I would t say it's worth the money

    We have been coming here for years and have enjoyed many visits. Unfortunately the waves are now very small and almost unnoticeable. It maybe focusing on the toddler market, sadly there were only five or six people swimming in the school holidays.

    Really run down and dirty (mould and rust everywhere), the waves didn’t happen the slide was shut (it turns out they rarely put them on which would have been nice to know) you have to pay for parking and it is £6.40 for an adult, £5.20 for kids for 1 hour which is a farce. Deceptively the website and foyer look nice. Would not recommend really disappointing!

    It was great the wave pool is soo much fun but it only comes on ever half hour and not the biggest waves. The slides was great but you can’t wear goggles and if you lie down on your back it’s hurts a little bit so better to sit up. The cafe is amazing with cakes chips hot food hot drinks cold drinks and smoothies.

    Almost didn’t book swimming today as I read the reviews. But I’m glad I did. We had a great time. Staff were friendly and lots of life guards around. We were lucky as the slide and waves were on.

    Absolute dive of a place...definitely no pun intended. Swimming pool is very dated and lacking in any decent swim area. Shower/changing facilities are dirty/tired looking and half the lockers are broken or missing locks. Staff are very rude when asked why people aren't allowed to pay using cash. No choice but to pay MINIMUM £1.50 parking fee for 1 hour and almost £7 to have a swim. I'd seriously avoid this place if you value your money and health.
