Fantastic experience: First visit here due to poor facilities in Shrewsbury. Staff on reception were very friendly and helpful, I took time out to explain about my wife's condition and staff here were accommodating. Emma, the duty manager was extremely professional along with her team. Cheaper pricing than other baths...Overall, well worth a visit.

Fantastic experience: Both my boys are learning to swim here, Karen and the team are amazing they go above and beyond. Tom who teaches my one child in stage one is great with him and reassures him all the way. My eldest has progressed and his confidence in the water has grown thanks to these guys.

David Murray 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: LET'S WISH THEM WELL IN LOCKDOWN CLOSURE AND SUPPORT THEM WHEN THIS LOVELY LOCAL FACILITY GETS GOING AGAIN. STAY SAFE WEM. Open and well adapted as can be to these difficult times. Options for exercise in the pool or the gym. Limited numbers,pre booking by phone call only and a requirement to be prepared to adapt to minimise or avoid use of changing rooms and showers. Cozzies on under and bag for outerwear kept poolside. Pat dryish, dress and leave with wet cozzies on. TOP TIP Take a carrier bag to cover car seat and wash at home.

George Williams 5 years ago

Positive experience: Nice gym and pool could just do with a bench press

Heather Crowe 5 years ago

Positive experience: The place is clean and the kids love the time of day when they get all the floats out. It is pretty basic - only 3 cubicles to change in the ladies, and the showers are extremely close together with no dividers so can't really use while someone else in using them. Saying that the price is really reasonable so you don't really mind.

Jodie Machen 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Took my daughter here today for the tots swimming session, its a lovely little pool, nice and warm and the changing area is adequate enough. I haven't used the gym facilities but from what I've seen it looks great for a quick workout. The staff were friendly and the place overall is great.
