well worth a visit on a cold or rainy day
Lovely staff. clean facilities and poools were all different heats. Lots of places to hang up clothes so you dont need to use the changing rooms or get a locker. You can keep an eye on your gear form the pools. Water taps around pools good to keep hydrated.
