"Was fun but took ages to get through the turnstiles and I felt it could definitely do with an update. All changing cubicles were occupied and it seemed like they were trying to do too much with too little."

"Arrived late Friday morning during a school term for my first piece of lap swimming at this centre. Dauntingly, I found the car park packed. Incredibly, though, upon inspection I found that there were only four people actually swimming in the four lanes left after half of the pool had been over-allocated to water aerobics. Unlike the indoor pools at Ringwood and Box Hill the heating did not appear excessive ... oppressive. The level of chlorination of the pool, as per indoor pool standard, was sufficient to strip my skin of all its oil ... the reason I normally choose to swim outdoors. This shire desperately needs an outdoor pool. A big negative was the absence of a drink fountain - something I have not encountered much over the decades. That needs to be rectified quickly. Another negative is the right turn off of Boronia Rd. It felt as if I waited a record time (for lights) to get a green. Another negative was that I had to push the shower button more than twenty times to get enough water for a shower. One final negative is the absence of online notification of lap lane availability - something that has become standard, elsewhere. I am currently inclined to choose this pool over Ringwood if they were the only two options."

"We went there for a few years for the kids swimming classes and my husband also liked the lap pool there. We found it good for the very early years of swimming but the progress of what they learnt felt much slower as they got older (5+). They have a handful of really good teachers and the rest just seemed to be trained and following the motions rather seeing each student in their own right and seeing how they can be developed. I feel it's an aquatic centre first and the kids swim school on the side which is ok but we wanted to see more progress. We have since moved to a dedicated swim school and we have seen so much progress in the short time they've been there. The public pool area after their lessons was great though."

"Very very sad. Was sitting at the water with my daughter while my husband and other daughter where swimming I was putting YouTube on and I got accused by the lifeguard and a management team that I was taking photos. This was so embarrassing and disrespectful. No one asked what I was doing. They just presumed while I had my phone in front of my face. They picked on me all the other parents around had their phones up taking photos yet. I was getting a video app on my phone for my daughter and I get accused and kicked out of the swimming center. So Disrespectful.. no one asked me if I had taken photos they just accuse me came up and accuse me. This is a very disrespectful for this organization."

"I'm yet to try out any of the pools or spa but had a go at the gym and loved it. Good range of equipment from free-weights and bands to exercise machines."
