I have been loving the bubble swim. The process and ease of booking has been wonderful. Some money spent on the toilets would improve the facilities greatly.

Great the lane swimming is back, the social distancing works. The staff at the desk where great while they tried to help me sort out payment which is online. The facilities are clean but it is an older building. One thing Trafford needs to bring back payment at each of the Liesure centres not everybody has access to online payment. Card payment would be fine. Apart from that it's great the Liesure centres are back.

My son has recently started swimming lessons with Joe on a Saturday, perfect number of children in the class, Joe is a fantastic teacher and so good with the children in his class. He makes it fun while teaching such an amazing life lesson. My son loves going to his lessons with Joe and looks forward to each class. His confidence is growing to and not afraid of the water thanks to Joe. I would recommend contacting Nicky for list of classes and times and book in with Joe.
