β€œThe beginner swim classes are a bit hit or miss. Amy is a patient and helpful teacher who explains things clearly and makes learning much easier, and she really helped reduce my fear as a beginner. Another instructor (whom I won’t name here) was more confusing and gave less individual attention, so the experience really depends on which teacher you get. I also noticed a cockroach near the pool, and the change room did not seem clean, which raised concerns about hygiene.”

β€œA clean and big swimming pool for the community right in the CBD. It's an Aquatic Centre in fact, meaning there's other areas other than swimming, like shallow leisurely pool for recreation (for family with kids) and relaxation. There's a patio with sun loungers so you can rest if you are tired from the water too.”
