The locker/shower room is quiet clean. Consider that the clubs has to do with limited space I never felt crowded at 6'1". Definitely my go-to place in Chetenham.

Go somewhere else.

There are 2 aerobic studios which are used for teaching various classes such as body combat, body attack, step, pilates, body balance. I recommend the Step class - a really good work out! All the instructions are good though. There is a swimming pool, sauna, steam room and spa. When you become a member you get several sessions with a personal trainer to sort out a programme, they are really friendly and helpful. They also have open weekends for the public, if you want to test out the facilities. Sometimes there are promotions when you can bring guests along and get day passes. The gym does get quite busy in the evenings, but day time isn't so bad. Lovely place to workout! The prices are quite reasonable and competitive.

The latest national championships saw 21 competitors attending from Oxford City SKC, attaining many medals across the board bronze, silver and golds. There has also developed a fantastic social side to the club too with regular post training get together. Everyone is super supportive and helpful in and out of the dojo. Being affiliated to the Japan karate association adds a real sense of belonging and an air of prestige. The JKA founded in 1955, is the longest standing official Shotokan karate body, recognised by the Japanese ministry of education as a corporation in 1958. It is regarded as the gold standard of Shotokan karate. JKA England founded 20 years ago after the passing of Enoeda Sensei and the split between JKA and KUGB ( karate union of Great Britain). The association has gone from stretch to strength Headed by Ohta Sensei 7th Dan and a technical committee of highly experienced karateka. Putting on regional, national and international courses with visiting Japanese instructors twice a year. As well as tournaments, instructor, examined and referee courses and regular gradings. it really stands up to the reputation of gold standard. Highly recommend joining one of the Oxford city dojos.

So this is where it all started...the beginning of a rather bizarre love with swimming pools as a…read moreplace for fun - the memories of youth - I remember the excitement when this leisure pool originally opened in 1976 - it wasn't a rectangle it was round! What was this madness? Half the pool was too shallow to actually swim in and it had waves. This was the very first time I had encountered a "leisure" pool - oh trend setting, thoroughly modern Swindon you have so much to answer for - (along with the famed "magic roundabout"). I still return here with the kids every time we jump on a train to visit my wife's family. It is a great pool but looking distinctly tatty round the edges now. The domed roof desperately needs renewing - it looked spectacular 30 years ago but putting that aside its still super fun. The pool itself is beach style with a separate small kids pool. Good kids pool with 3 slides plus pirate ship.... The main pool has a steep three lane multislide and a new long slide circles inside the building (77m long). But really it is the flumes here that count and these are top. The Domebusters have a had a refurb this year and one of them has been replaced. All are approx 100m in length.So first off The Sidewinder A fairly gentle, spiralling flume aimed at younger children and parents. You can sit or go head first. The Great White My favourite - heads first ONLY never seen that on any other slide! Normally feet first everywhere.... A fast ride with two small vertical drops and several twists and turns. The Storm The new this year straight fast flume - small circumference with a striped lighting effect and sounds.. Didn't get to try this out this time - but will be back to do so....busy with an under 5... The session time was only an hour - which is really not long enough and it is fairly expensive considering the stingy hour. There are not many reasons to visit Swindon but this is definitely one if you are a water slide fan or the kids love to swim. . --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update So I came back to try out the new flume which I hadn't managed to try out last time. Managed to slip away from a family visit for a couple of hours with my teenagers. Interestingly GLL have taken over the management of the leisure centre since we were here in 2012 (they run most of the pools we visit in London). It had been spruced up a bit with the new corporate livery...but still the stingy session times. We took no notice of the session times and made good use of the domebuster slides. So The Storm was the main attraction - small tube, dark, with striped lightning and fast with the descent as a helix. A big thumbs up from the family - a great slide but not in our top 5 slides. The Great White remains the favourite - head first you can pick up some proper speed and fly over the steepest vertical drops... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
