None of our group were experienced sailors and Dave was really patient and relaxed giving us guidance about what we should be doing. We had a great weekend and I would definitely recommend Synergy sailing to others.

Forget comments about it being a pretentious sport, some of the nicest people sail from here! Add to this the number of olympic sailors which came through the club and brought back medals for 2008 it's not really such a bad place! They also offer a programme of training for local children under the age of 16 to learn to sail for a minimal fee on a Wednesday afternoon during the summer, great if you have a child between 8-16 and need something to entertain them with and also includes a cup of tea and a doughnut when they've finished sailing! It is an RYA approved scheme to, so they can gain certificates for no extra money.

Welcome to Southampton, a city that worships the car, ignores any architectural continuity and has a by-law that fat men must wear hooped earings and must not wear shirts once the thermometer hits 80f. It is also the city that has come up with The Quays; a building of outwardly interesting architectural merit, but messes it up but putting it between medieval battlements and a pyramid-shaped hotel. Las Vegas for pikies. Anyway, on with the review. When you get inside, you realise that they have an impressive diving pool, with a clever movable floor, a nice lanes pool covered by a beautiful wooden roof. But there's no natural light. It's stuffy. It echos off every surface. Awful. Did I mention they also play techno in the baby pool? Loud techno. I couldn't hear my 9 mnth old's sweet gurgles for the Utah Saints. Anyway, the baby pool. We went early on a Sunday. One the locals told me it was quiet. I reckon it was 40 metres square and had about 40 parents in it. And 40 babies. I think I was the only man in that pool who didn't have a tattoo. I swear some of the toddlers even had them. Finally, what amuses me about this is the concept. For example, I knew there was a pool in the centre of Southampon, so I called directory enquiries and asked for pools in Southampon. Nothing. Swimming baths? Nothing. Health clubs? sorry no. However if I'd have phoned and asked for 'The Quays 'Eddie Read' Swimming & Diving Complex ' I might have got their number. You can see the council meeting now. Let's put up striking building with bad ventilation and no natural light and no room inside. Let's charge £4.30 for a half hour swim, more than even central london prices. However, we'll brand it cleverly. That'll get the punters in. That'll create the wow factor our city so desparately needs. To it's credit the changing was clean and fresh and the lockers were free. But overall a real pity.

I have been there on many occasions, mainly for private parties and functions. Indeed, the fixtures and fittings are tired. And you really are going to struggle to purchase any other beverage than the most basic of drinks. However, the prices are very reasonable and when the crowd is right, it can be SO MUCH FUN! Even more so when there is a match on. Enjoy!
