"This was a fantastic venue for swimming, where the staff sent me and my friend through the gates from our pre-booking! The pool has two booming slides, two hot tubs, a section where a blurred window shines the sun in to sit back and even pop-ups like waterfalls or fountains falling on everyone. Lockers are easy to use, changing rooms plentiful and the area is suitably sized." - K
