Great leisure centre with lovely helpful staff. Very positive experience.. not too crowded. Very diligent lifeguards.. some have said too diligent but you can't be too overboard with safety.. the slide is great but only open for 10 minutes every half hour.. lockers could be bigger and dressing rooms could be bigger but i think that's a constant complaint everywhere.. sand on the floor here and there.. don't know why.. but i would recommend Staff helpful & good but showers & toilets are not cleaned very often. There's usually a clump or 2 of hair in the shower area. Also the water in 2 showers is always cold and in the others too hot. A big energy waste. Wouldn’t return as temperature too cool and baby full of sand. Should have a walk through foot cleaning section to prevent dirt being brought into the - fermoy has this for example. Especially required for a by the beach. You also have to pay an additional 50c to use hair dryers which is unacceptable and leaves children with wet hair - we don’t have the climate for that. We paid 28 for an adult and one child and two basic hats. The hair dryer should be included. Class for toddlers consist in wet the kids with a watering can. Then the teacher do his impression of a shark. All this always individually to take a lot of time. Then 1 minute of real class splashing the feet on the water. Then moving to adult poll that is way to cold for toddlers and do some jumping to the pool. More shark impressions. Return to the toddler and finish the class. Teacher have no clue about toddler classes. By the fifth class there were only 3 kids on the pool. Don't know how was the sixth because we don't intend to go anymore. We have to stop because my daughter was crazy about going to the now she hates. I see comments about how hard is to get schedule. Well if you never got the chance to enroll your kids you are the lucky ones. It's amazing how Aura makes you enroll for 8 lessons and then uses a teacher that have no skills at all to deal with toddlers Brought my kids for the specific purpose of using the slide. Paid in with no mention of slide being closed for most of the session. Changing area/showers are filthy. Sand in the pools. Totally inadequate showers for the number of people. Kids got 2 goes on the slide with the excuse there's not enough staff. Apparently there are no plans to hire more or change this in any way, yet still charge full price for use. Every changing cubicle has someone's bag /shoes/clothes in them. And they do absolutely NOTHING. Poor management. Staff don't care. Very awkward having to change your child due to selfish people. When you arrive to the pool, it looks nice and modern with no issues, but when you enter, the girl at the desk is too busy looking down on her phone. You are left waiting for 30 seconds wondering if she is in do not disturb mode. In the changing room, the experience is poor, there are missing keys to lockers, some changing rooms have clothing left in them the showers are boiling hot and the bathrooms are disgusting. They also charge you to use the lockers. In the baby pool, it's okay. There is brown crust in the corners or the baby pool, the jets are really strong and the fountain is never on. In the other they have tons of rules. It's like you can't even have fun! You couldn't dive, so we decided to simply sit on the wall and fall in instead. We got in trouble by the lifeguards. The thing is, other people were diving in, and didn't get in any bit of trouble. The ladder out is very loose, the deep end is only 1.5m, so not very deep if you're looking to train and the water slide is on for 10 minutes per session. The moderation is poor. The lifeguards are barely ever paying attention and can be very cross, You can't forget the price. We were charged over 30 euro for 1.5 hours! We only had 3 people there with us too. One day, we went for a swim. There were lessons on and there was no warning of them being on anywhere (it was on a Thursday and we were there on the previous Sunday and Monday). We couldn't swim at all because of it and it was on all day! No hate to the but this needs to be dealt with.
