My local pools are on there, but I picked a nice looking one at a hotel a bit further away. Make a nice morning out.



Gosh, is this what we have all become?

Default Hmmmmm 'Family swim'

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 as i walk in with my 3 normal playful kids !!

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

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

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.

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.
