The two stars are for the female manager who was on shift on Sunday, the 2nd. She was an active listener. I always visit this place for swimming because it’s only a 10-minute drive away, and the staff are usually friendly and engaging. I usually don’t rate places, but an incident yesterday left me really pissed. I thought I should bring this to your attention again. A 40-year-old Caucasian man approached me in a disruptive manner, requesting we leave the lane for his convenience while I was sharing with a child. The reason given was it was the fast lane, but I explained that I was sharing with others. This led to an argument between us. I refused to move and engage further as I think this abusive behavior cannot be tolerated, so I said to him that I couldn’t understand him. He threatened to get someone to come to me if I refused to speak to him. A few minutes later, a staff member approached me for a conversation. I was extremely upset because he didn’t ask for the full story and instead asked us to move. It was a Sunday afternoon, and many families and children had come for fun. The pool was quite packed. I explained to him that the male was rude and disrespectful. He agreed that he thought the male was rude, but continued to ask us to move. There were two kids around, so they remained quiet. The mother had no choice but to ask them to leave the lane. I tried explaining to the young man by questioning his decision and thoughts, saying that the male couldn’t be an Olympic athlete. However, he accused me of being rude. Later, I saw him circled back to the man and have a brief chat before leaving. The man continued to stay in the lane. I came out of the pool, ran to the staff, and asked him to stop for a conversation. He didn’t respond, so I asked to speak to his manager. The lady was lovely and thought it would be fair for everyone to share the lane instead of the male kept it to himself for his preferences. She said she would speak to the man and offered me a free entry, which I declined. I expressed my gratitude, as I had used the pool before the incident. My point is that this kind of behaviour is unacceptable, especially with children around. It would be beneficial to provide more training for staff on conflict resolution.

Great pool facilities, awesome staff, has a nice community feel to it. The Aquatic Centre has swimming programs for kids and adults for all abilities working right up to advanced squad levels and competition. If you are in the local area looking for a pool this summer - this is your place to go. =)
