Nice, clean pool area and changing rooms and good sauna and steam room. However, disappointing that so many of the lanes are hired out for external use at 7am, three out of five weekday mornings. This is obviously a peak time for members wanting to fit in a swim before work. Surely it would be better for these people to use the pool for training purposes before the pool opens so that members don't need to squeeze into such a restricted space (have seen people having to wait till the small space clears out a bit before being able to get in).

As a regular community member, I’d like to share some feedback based on my experience: Positives: The swimming pool, gym, and changing facilities are always clean and well maintained. There is a decent range of gym equipment, covering most training needs. The staff are well-trained, polite, and helpful, which really adds to the overall experience. Areas for improvement: The online swimming pool timetable appears to be outdated – the number of lanes listed for Lane Swimming often doesn’t reflect actual pool usage, which can be frustrating when planning sessions. Only 6 out of 10 squat racks are available most mornings. I typically arrive around 07:15am, yet often end up waiting 20–30 minutes to find a spare rack. This can make it difficult to maintain a consistent training routine. Overall, I appreciate the facilities and service, but a few practical adjustments could make a big difference to the member experience.
