Plenty of public sessions and good lengths of time of them.
The lanes in the family/wave machine sessions, so you can still have a 'normal' swim.

What I would like to see is a session with guided slow stretching in the water, with plenty of repetition and time to get the stretches right - an ' aqua stretch' session.
The ladies aqua aerobics is a waste of time. As the water slows you down and you can't keep up with the demonstrations on land, you just end up jumping around and not really benefitting in any way.
Last week I attended my first adult beginners swimming class. It was very friendly and instructors put me at ease.
I was so pleased to be able to learn how to breathe under water.
It was something that I had never been able to do. So it was a real step in the right direction. Early days but looking forward to next lesson!
The instructors were great. Great teaching & most encouraging.
Nice atmosphere. Staff helpful and pleasant. Pool has quite times that suits me to lane swim at my speed. Temperature is consistent. Pool and changing areas clean and fairly well maintained.
The morning adults only swim session - the fact it is for a good long time too, and this pattern stays the same throughout the year.
Have enjoyed the lunchtime swim session in the past - again staying the same throughout year.
The Swim for All/ session with wave machine - the fact that there are two lanes kept for normal swimming. eg Sun afternoon.
Good balanced pool timetable - schools, lessons and plenty of general swim sessions.
Friendly staff, nice building/ location. Accessible, bright and nice atmosphere.
Clear info around the building e.g. leaflets and posters about class times etc
Really nice pool and gym, would recommend to anybody.
Every time I go is only a positive experience.
