Reviews:

A great facility for adults and children. There are good, clean poolside changing cubicles and showers, as well the larger changing rooms. There is a small toddler pool with fountains and a Jaccuzzi® that can be used by children, as well a 50m adult pool! They allow various children’s floats in both pools. [In February, 2010, we were informed that the facility had recently been refurbished. Earlier negative reviews have been removed from the listing. Eds.]
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.
