Very nice and welcoming pool! Not expensive but has Al the things you expect and need. Would definetly recommend for swimming laps or even "free" swimming.

I brought my daughter to learn to swim so she could receive her swim diploma, It has taken more than a year and a half. There is minimal oversight often instructors are unaware of how your child is progressing. I am not a helicopter parent often I trust in the process, but this place in my opinion organizationally is a mess. I will not be bringing my other two kids and I would not recommend bringing yours. Unless you enjoy spending an hour each week wondering how you could better spend time with your kid. Additionally, they use swim vests, which I sort of get, but my daughter is nearly finished with this program and the children are still wearing them. I do not understand the logic, it just appears they do not have faith in their own system. Im glad it’s almost over.In response to your question;Yes I have spoken to members of your staff on a few occasions, to me it appears there is no clear plan and minimal oversight with regards to how children are progressing. Instructors mean well, but it appears there are too many kids and a lack of consistency. For example, it wasn’t until there was a substitute teacher in bath 3 who saw my daughter swimming for the first time and did not understand why she hadn’t already been advanced to the next level. It’s frustrating her regular teacher did not see this.

It's an OK spot to go swimming however the staff seem too uptight. They need to relax and have fun. Their stress towards customers makes it hard as a customer to have fun as well.We are a family that enjoys swimming hence we've swum in different spots in the Netherlands. This is the only spot that felt that my youngest daughter's floaters were not good enough.My older daughters enjoyed themselves hence the 2 stars.

Well you've heard the phrase 'couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery', this is a case of ' couldn't organise a swimming lesson in a swimming pool'!Highlights from trying to get my son signed up for lessons:- Staff having no idea when he would potentially start ( I rang every 2 weeks to ask to be told 'maybe next month' )- Total radio silence from the pool - no calls, no emails, not even a newsletter.- Was told by my son's BSO on a Monday, that his first lesson would be Tuesday. The swimming pool neglected to contact/tell us of course... To add insult to injury, I was called on the Wednesday by the pool asking why I hadn't paid yet ( yes, really ). As this comedy of errors continued I was told that it wasn't possible to pay automatically or online. The only option is to pay at the front desk each month ( yes, really - again )I could go on, but you get the idea - totally incompetent, clueless staff unprofessional & customer unfriendly.For the sake of your sanity and frustration levels avoid at all costs! Go somewhere else for your kid's lessons.
