    Just spent 20 minutes on the phone to BG so i could get my damn customer reference number. Yes i thought, treat the kids. Kids being 5, 10, and 12. There isnt a sinlge pool listed within a 50 mile radius of me that is 'CHILD' friendly!!
    I can just imagine the expressions on the 'Gym members' faces :naughty::naughty: :shhh: as i walk in with my 3 normal playful kids :j :rotfl: :j :rotfl: :j !!

    This offer is great for well behaved ADULTS, for a day out chilling!!

    They may as well just offer it to adults, not families :confused::think:!

    Be sure to check the relevant website - we arrived at 12:00pm to be told that kids are not allowed in the pool between 12:00pm - 14:00pm.

    Could be considered deception so I'm not posting the complete details here. Perhaps along the same lines as those with old British Gas accounts.

    If you're a Homecare customer, there is no account number. You just need the name and address of a customer. Can you think of a big book of names, addresses and phone numbers?

    5 minutes work for a free family swim. Morally questionable, but the pool got £6.99 for a swiming float from me, so I think that evens things out.

    Hi There
    My homecare is in joint names , so I came my freeswim for today. then my wife claim her free swim for next week with no problems
    hope this helps
    I did phone up the pool yesterday and found that kids can only swim in the mornings so I am glad that I phoned up as I had to book a slot

    Thanks for this, my closest is about 20 miles away though and not very appealing to the kids so i won't order this time. Great for those who have a decent pool close by!
