I agree with all the previous reviews regarding the older lady lifeguard with long grey hair. As MANY have said about her previously, the way she speaks to adults is disgustingly rude. She walks around like I'd image a prison guard would, although I'd imagine even prison guards would smile more. Just last week she told my wife to watch our daughter more while she was swimming, the delivery was like this as she walked past my wife who was between watching our sons swimming lesson and watching our daughter swim. "You know you still need to watch them" referring to our daughter who is well and truly above the age of close supervision (per all the pool rules). This was delivered as she just walked by my wife and kept walking. The lady next to my wife was in disbelief at how the older lady lifeguard had spoken to my wife, and also pointed out how out of line she was and that she herself and many of her friends had had similar issues/experiences with the same lady. Action is needed.

Swimming teachers are amazing but the pool itself is a really bad layout. If you're trying to play with your child in the big pool which is the only public area to really play when swimming lessons are on you only have the one strip and have to constantly keep looking behind you for the elderly that are exercising so should really be in the 2nd lane. You can't enjoy playing with your children because this is all you do. There needs to be one big pool for playing and no elderly doing laps so kids can have a proper play. Also needs to be more then one family toilet for the disabled and families with kids. The other ones are impossible to shower and dress kids in and I'd imagine very hard for elderly/disabled to shower and get dressed in. However: Swimming teachers are all amazing The kids area is good and warm The Cafe is great, best coffee there is, also great food.
