Helpful staff who, when I asked why my morning swim booking was not available, they pointed out that I had booked the training pool for an adult session. Apparently lots of people do this and you need to check. It would be good if it warned you that as an adult you are booking a swim session in a 90cm pool!

Extremely accommodating and friendly
My GP recommended that I do water activities due to the permanent damage to my lower spine which will help due to the damage caused to my heart by a heart attack.
Better has extremely friendly staff both on the phone and in person. Classes can be cancelled 4 hours before they start and the money is given as a credit. As a disabled person who suffers with chronic pain and never knows how I'm going to feel each day, this is an amazing service.

I am enjoying the services as they’re all new to me. The premises are light, airy and clean. There could be a lot more classes for yoga, Pilates and aqua as they book up so quickly especially during the morning slots. Good instructors there.

There is something for everyone
There is something for everyone, the reception staff are very helpful and friendly. The pickle ball was great fun and the yoga very relaxing. I enjoyed the gym with a variety of equipment, the overall experience is easy with no complicated procedures just join, park and go.
Reception can help with the joining procedure on the ipads.

Lovely leisure centre
Lovely leisure centre, clean and with really helpful reception staff, particularly the young lady on duty early evening. You were let down by 2 of the 4 showers being out of order. Also felt, as a newby, more information could have been given to start us off - how to enter the centre (without having to ask), what we needed for the lesson. This could be dealt with via a message app if the instructor doesn’t have the time.

Dear Steven,
Thank you very much for submitting feedback on our service.
It is great to hear that we have been able to help you.
Not a great experience at all
Not a great experience at all. Booked on to a 'swim for all' session with the family but as soon as we got in the pool, the 'fun police' were all over us asking how far our children could swim. My daughter swam a whole length on her back but apparently this isn't allowed, she had to prove she can swim on her front? Even though she did swim back on her front, for the whole rest of our session their beady eyes were on us constantly making us feel very uncomfortable and making it a very joyless experience. I think the website should re-title 'swim for ALL' as 'swim for strong swimmers ONLY'. Needless to say we won't be going back.

Hi Caroline,
Thank you for your review.
It is stated in our swim safety rules that: Swim testing by lifeguards may be implemented to check the ability of swimmers before they are allowed into the deep end of the main pool. This will be at the discretion of the lifeguard on position.
This is for health and safety reasons. I am sorry if you did not feel that this was dealt with in the best way but the lifeguards are there to ensure the safety of all of our customers and this may be in the form of keeping an eye on some customers who they feel are not strong swimmers to make sure they are safe.
We hope that this does not discourage you from attending our centres.
Warm Regards
Hazal

Dreadful first experience of a group class (Aquarobics) last night. No differentiation from the trainer, not a clue what was an exercise for the class or her just ‘dancing’ around. Will not be going again! Also, no explanation in the changing rooms about using / releasing the key in the lockers ! Really not impressed !
