Etwall Leisure Centre

This place is awful for your kids swimming lessons. They claim the teaching is superior to nearby centres but basically it’s a random number generator. They dropped my son’s swimming stage, he wasted a year having to go over the same stuff that two other centres were happy with. Then when his teacher changed, they deducted his progress again just because the new teacher was a little unsure. No communication. No proper governance, the changing room usually smells like an open gutter and when you complain, the swim manager doesn’t really care about any of it.

I went here for swimming with my 2 year old. we went into the building. it was amazing I love the layout.then we proceeded to walk into the changing room and once in it was smelly and very hot and sweaty I there but I can't complain because people have been swimming and the smell was mostly chlorine which is needed in a pool. so I wasn't too concerned. we then went into a changing room with a baby changing table on there. (which is amazing by the way to have for parents who have children) we obviously got changed and I could smell something in the changing room. ours. I looked for anything that could do with the smell and then I opened the baby changing table and there was a full on open nappy which has been used. i just headed out and me and my son did our swimming and then went back in and got changed very quickly as I didn't want it to ruin our swimming trip. I once informed a member of staff and they helped me with the situation. lovely member of staff. I went back and got my things but checked it again and there was still a smudge of you probably know what. I just left as it isn't my issue. but I did have a lovely time overall except from the changing room part.
