If you take half the ticket into the pool with you they will refund you the parking. The changing rooms are open communal changing but there are some cuibicles availble if you are not keen on the communal thing! There is a large long and deep pool for swimming which is great a little cold but very clean and well maintained. There is also a seperate baby pool which can become very crouded. This pool is only safe for a set amount of people so if it is busy you might not be allowed in the baby pool. The baby pool often has toys such as floats water cans etc for the children to use. A 4 year old would be able to stand in the water saftey.

Although fairly basic decor, this is a great community place. Before changes in our working pattern…read morenecessitated a change, we came here regularly. The pool itself in long (33.3m, I think) and deep, so you can get plenty of exercise. The swimming lessons are brilliant. My son learnt to swim here and worked his way up through all the levels with support and encouragement from the coaches. I did used to find it vaguely annoying that you could only book the children's lessons on the day that you wanted to attend, ie if you wanted to book for saturday morning classes, you had to go in to do so on a saturday. Classes are oversubscribed though so it's worth making the effort. There are holiday classes (eg diving, popmobility in water) which are great value for money, although for some reason there are never as many children on these as you would expect. Sunday afternoons on the inflatables are great too. My son even had a swimming pool party there once, with the food/drink (which we supplied) in the viewing area afterwards. They all had the most phenomenal time, thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the staff were great.

I love going to the Nuffield Gym. Staff are welcoming and helpful, the equipment is functional and…read morewell maintained. It can get busy at times, but there is more than enough equipment to go round. The Hydro Pool and Sauna (which has just been renovated) are a blessing after a long workout, and the protein smoothies served at the Café are great! It has definitely shrugged off its previous bad reputation and is without a doubt one of the top gyms in Taunton.

There are far better gyms in Taunton offering the latest kit at half the price.

Splashland is an indoor swimming pool situated inside the Trecco Bay holiday park…read more This is a fun pool, with most of the features mainly suiting children and families. It is very busy during the school holidays and summer. The pool operates on a timed slot basis, and you are given a coloured band which indicates the start and end time of your session. The pool has a decent waterslide, a children's pirate ship play area and a separate toddlers area. There is a jacuzzi type bubble area where you can sit/lie which is joined to the main pool. There are two swimming lanes - sometimes roped off and sometimes not - which are fine for some relaxing swimming - but due to the size and temparature (Very warm) of the pool they are not really suited to serious swimmers. You can sit and watch the swimmers in a seated area, and there is a good size changing village, including family size changing rooms. There are aqua aerobic classes available during the week.

Burnham Swimming Pool has recently been bought from the council by private buyers and has…read morere-openned as The Swim Sports Academy. Since re-openning the changing rooms are much improved and there is a Star Bucks attached. The new staff are very welcoming and classes such as yoga and spinning are available. I do feel, however, that there is a bit too much focus on swimming lessons and classes. I use the pool just for public/ladies swimming and often the times when I can use the pool are restricted or half the pool is cordonned off for a class.

They now have a starbucks coffee shop where you can sit and watch the swimmers they also have yoga classes which are good as it is normally hard to find spaces in yoga classes in the area. The only downside of the new ownership is that there are alot of swimming classes / groups and private hire times so when I just want to go for a swim I am normally limited to half the pool being closed off which is a shame - I think they should focus more on us people who just want to swim not do aqua arobics, lessons etc.

The reception staff are fantastic, I really feel that nothing appears to be too much trouble for them. The facilities on site are good, occasionally, I have found the water in the pool to be a little cool, but thats maybe me. The changing rooms are always immaculate and they offer good facilities, there are lots of hairdryers and it reminds me of a spa in there. The gym itself is well laid out and is a comfortable temperature for your workout, it has never been too busy and I have never felt that I have been looked down upon for my poor physique - whereas some gyms you feel uncomfortable. The staff are all really friendly and helpful and after your workout there is a really nice restaurant which serves really nice food and really tasty coffee.

Hi everyone…read more Sidmouth Swimming Pool is a great place to have some fun on a rainy day or if you don't like swimming in the sea!

The pool is open pretty much 12 hours a day but the majority of that time is taken up by lessons, classes or lane-swimming. No fun for those like me who just want to have a bit of a splash around when the weather gets too hot. I tried lane-swimming and it wasn't too busy in the summer but during term time the pool is full of fish! It's very cheap though- only £3 and you can stay in the pool all day if you have nothing better to do.

Childrens swimming lessons take over the pool one evening a week but it is one of the nicest pools Ive been to and definately very child friendly. There is also a small cafe but this is very basic.
