I agree that it is a wonderful facility.
Plus points are that my experience with the staff on site (ok so I've only been once) was that they were polite and friendly.
Also the Cafe is lovely and ditto the staff a delight.
The cleanliness of the toilets and changing rooms was also excellent on my visit.
Minus's
The often mentioned lack of speed designated lanes (thats why I haven't been back, I cant face another grumpy swimmer complaining that I'm blocking their progress)
I too had a lot of confusion and poor communication over my swimming lessons, which were booked months ago.
The lack of anti wave ropes separating the lanes-it really does get very choppy in there.
My boyfriend says the gym is well equipped. There are numerous options for each type of exercise. He hasnt seen the staff being very proactive- not to say they aren't- when people are struggling on machines or not using the best technique. People dont mind having tips and interaction with the staff, this is all part of why you go to the gym. Finally, although he is average-ish height (5'9") he has to jump up to get onto the chin bars!

And the pitiful showers- we may as well not bother with them for all the good they are for pre and post swim cleansing.
