First time visiting
First time visiting, friendly staff with clear directions when entering. Nice small gym with everything you need. Pool is big enough to get a few lengths in at lunchtime or after work as I did

Great value ! Come on Better Market your offers better!
I’ve recently set up my membership I chose the £5 a month concessionary for over the summer meaning I get 50% off on off peak and 30% off peak plus 1 free activity a month. I think this is great value and I will look to pay the £25 concessionary price in September provided I’m using it enough. I’ve posted on my Facebook page about this offer. I don’t feel in my area that better do enough to market what they do. When we pay badminton we are the only ones in there and sometimes the pool is very quiet. Having worked in marketing there is so much more Better could do to push their offers out there for free on social media and encourage families to do more activities and being informed of the great value offers is key. 3 of us swam for £2 yesterday ! Both my daughters and I used my free activity for the month. Come on Better you need to pull people in maybe other areas are busier but Dorcan Swindon I’ll happily do your marketing ! I’ve swam 6 times in the last 2 weeks and we’ve played badminton. It’s brilliant value especially over summer.

Lovely people, dirty changing rooms
I’ll start with the positives, the staff and fellow users of the pool I’m using are friendly. But the changing facilities are a disgrace. It is very dirty, and you never see anyone cleaning between sessions. The showers are but a drizzle of freezing cold water. If it is too expensive to supply hot water then at least give us some water pressure,so that we can rinse and get it over with. Equally, there was no water in the hand sink tap previously, or soap for that matter, so unable to wash hands after using the toilet facility.
Might I suggest, that people should have to take their shoes off before entering the changing facility, at least then, the floor wouldn’t be covered in outdoor muck, which we then have to walk on , before and after entering the pool. Other pools insist on a no footwear policy, which makes a huge difference.
On the plus side the pool area is clean(no shoes here!) and the pool is a good temperature and room for a good swim.

Good evening Christiana,
We appreciate your feedback.
We are pleased to learn about your positive experience with the swimming lessons at the Dorcan Recreation Complex. We understand your desire for longer sessions, and we regret any inconvenience caused by the standard 30-minute duration. Some members who seek extended lessons opt for an additional membership, enabling them to attend two 30-minute sessions per week. This may be an option worth considering to accommodate your preference for longer sessions.
Sincerely,
Charmaine
