Positive experience: My local pool could really use some renovations getting very dated

Negative experience: A long term member tries to help others and gets asked to leave the aquatic centre. Absolutely appalling of your staff.

Negative experience: The ignorance, arrogance and incompetence shown from management to long term local members was pretty appalling and actually quite embarrassing for the aquatic centre. This kind of behaviour doesn't go unnoticed.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get fit

Fantastic experience: I'm starting to feel like I live here - as a mum that's also a freelance marketer/designer, I've found the perfect set up here at the Great Lakes YMCA: my 2 boys love their swimming lessons (and the amazing creche team they get to hang out with afterwards while I go to the gym). Then I get to enjoy a great coffee at the cafe while I catch up on some work, before picking up the boys and hanging out in the ballpit with some well-earned fish & chips. I can't even begin to describe how much better I feel mentally and physically after signing up for a family membership - if you use it to the max you won't regret it! xx
