The staff were really helpful and the ladies changing rooms were clean. The locker we used was in a small "U" shape near the entrance to the changing room. Unfortunately when it came time to leave the pool it made getting things from the lockers harder as it felt quite tight. Into the pool: the pool itself is a beach style pool with a wave machine as well as a broken - bucket fill activity (not sure how else to describe it - the joystick did nothing and the buckets had to be filled manually). The waterfall mushroom was nice and the small slide although I think a slightly bigger slide would have been appreciated by the kids there. I'm not sure exactly what the giant ball barricade was for, other kids were climbing on it and not getting told off and it did provide a sheltered area from the wave machine. It was a nice touch that an inflatable net and several beach balls as well as soft balls were available but they were quickly taken if you didn't get to them quick enough. There were also water cannons that could be moved and angled but these did not get much attention from the children there. The humidity and the pool was much cooler than I was expecting and another swimmer commented that the day before when they visited that people were going blue it was that cold. Which is surprising as you would expect warmer waters over a half term when more children are going to be using the facilities. Even I found the water to be a bit chilly on the day so had to keep an eye on those I was with. From the pool you can see the "cafeteria" if you wish to call it that. When we went swimming over the lunchtime period and from the pool you could see shutters down so it was closed and your options were two vending machines so we didn't bother to explore it after for a warm drink to warm up with.
