Changing rooms absolutely stink like sewerage. They don’t tell you at reception or any signs saying you need a pound coin for locker. Had to bring toddler back through to reception in swim wear to ask for a coin but they said take your bags swimming with you instead. Floors need a really really deep clean it stinks. I won’t ever come here again
If I could give -5 stars I would probably the worst experience of my life, I had to shower in front of 100 people I felt like I was in the middle of the jungle do yourself a favour and go to a lake to use the swimming because that would be 10 times better The sauna was like A nursery people were crawling over each other and don’t even bother booking the squash you get 20 minutes when you pay for an hour and there’s people being aggressive outside the door telling you it’s their turn to play
The reception staff are incredibly rude. We've been using this for over a year now with zero improvement in customer service. The changing rooms never seem to be clean with litter all over the place and a strong smell of urine and faeces. This is a community pool and portrays a very poor image of Rotherham Borough Council.
Great facility at a very reasonable price. We took our grandson swimming. The only improvement I would recommend would be to add a few more family changing rooms as there are only 3 and we did have a fair wait.
It's a dull place generally and the water in the big pool is barely heated. I get so cold I have to go in the sauna to warm up. Miserable staff. People get in your way in lane swims all the time. Also very creepy mixed changing rooms and showers, not comfortable or relaxing.
