🏆 Family Action Verdict
The age separation works well in practice — a grandmother who held a birthday party here describes "a big pool for the big kids and a little pool for all the grandchildren." Another reviewer notes three pools, clean changing rooms, and fair pricing as the standout features for a family swim.

“Great pool, has a chill atmosphere. Staff are pretty great, except the female pool attendant( black glasses, long wavy brown hair) who walks around swinging her whistle, telling kids off like a drill sergeant and who never smiles…… she was there today, Saturday 24th January in the afternoon) Apart from her putting a downer on the atmosphere it’s a great place to spend your afternoon.”
