Our comment from FitFit UK about Starfish Hydrotherapy Pool:

Starfish Hydrotherapy Pool in Chippenham offers a remarkable aquatic experience, notably suited for families and individuals seeking therapeutic benefits. Visitors frequently highlight the warm water and sensory-friendly atmosphere with dimmed lights and colorful projections that create an enjoyable environment for babies and toddlers. The facility is particularly praised for its friendly and professional staff, who are dedicated to providing an excellent swimming experience.

Many users appreciate the fantastic swimming lessons tailored for little ones, emphasizing the individual attention from instructors. The hydrotherapy sessions are also described as effective and enjoyable, making it a popular choice for both parents and children.

However, some guests have pointed out areas for improvement, notably the changing facilities, which are described as cramped and lacking in privacy. Despite this, the overall value for money and the inviting pool environment are often considered worth it. Some patrons noted communication issues regarding lesson schedules, but management is actively working to address these concerns.

In conclusion, Starfish Hydrotherapy Pool is an ideal destination for families looking to introduce their little ones to swimming in a nurturing and friendly environment.

Positive experience: Great facility and nice staff. Its a brilliant sensory experience for newborns and family swimming play session with main lights turned down and coloured ambient lighting. The showers are cold though

Positive experience: Swimming lessons are great but the comms are confusing and incorrect. For example, the email confirmation says that the lessons are at a different school to where it is, and the sign that indicates that the hydro pool is there, has a hedge over grown in front of it. Also, a kit list would be helpful as I wasn't aware that a swim hat would be needed, and there was no one at the reception to ask when we arrived

Hi Vicky, Thank you for your review. Firstly, I am glad you are enjoying the lessons. I am sorry that you have experienced difficulties with the information for our service. I have asked the IT team to have a look at the information that is going out to our customers.

We don't require swimmers to wear swimming hats, so I am not sure where this has come from, but I am sorry for the confusion.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place for hydrotherapy. I take a client with me, and she loves it. However, our session time has changed from Monday lunchtime to Wednesday evening, which was not good. I've emailed management as has my clients partner and my company, but we have had no reply, which we all thought was very rude and inconsiderate, with a don't care attitude.

Negative experience: We went today for the first time with our 5 month old baby. Pool is a really good size , lovely and warm and great with the lights off. The major downside is the changing facility’s or lack of. It’s one room split by some dividers so there is no real privacy , you are changing babies on a hospital bed and it’s a bit crazy when your trying to change whilst the next session is too. Not sure if we will be going again.

Negative experience: It’s affordable but the changing rooms are atrocious! No privacy or lockers for valuables and belongings if you’re lucky you might get given a bucket for your things which can be accessed by anybody. The pool was a nice size and the lights were lovely however the whole place was just extremely unhygienic. You’re expected to change your baby on something similar to a hospital bed on wheels and there is only 2 for the women’s side of the room, the changing room is one large room split by a folding room divider on wheels which doesn’t give much privacy at all. I wont be going again
