Reviews:

The water is quite clean. However, the showers and surroundings of the pool could be cleaner. It smells like old mold in the locker rooms and the swimming pool could be cleaned more thoroughly, since the number of users is increasing, which, I believe, is a good sign. On Wednesdays, during women’s swim time, a number of religious women wear dresses in the water, a practice that strikes me as unhygienic.
If you disagree with this review, click HERE. If we can fit your comments into this section, we will - "different strokes for different folks" is particularly applicable to the swimming community.
