The slide no longer works though. could of been a bit warmer I thought but lovely and clean and staff nice. Well worth a visit! TLC has a lovely shaped pool. A small but perfectly functional gym. There is a good-sized cafe. Very small gym, but well equipped. Changing rooms are freezing. They have showers but the stall is so small you can barely close the door- had to shower with the door open which was awkward and then change out in the common area. Reasonably priced for the day at 7pounds. I only really have experience of the swimming pool, the soft play and the cafe to add in this review - I haven't used the other facilities at TLC. The swimming itself has remained largely the same since I first went with my mum in the 1980s, but that's no bad thing as the has a great setup. The major changes in that time include the addition of a flume in the early 2000s, and the removal of TLC's iconic palm tree in the area between the kid's and the main pool. The soft play is situated in what used to be squash courts, and it's a great play area for the wee ones. It can be a bit hectic if it's busy, but that largely depends on the particular kids who are there - no-one likes the over boisterous kids at a soft play, do they? The cafe serves a decent selection of quick meals and service is usually pretty quick, with prices being reasonable. All the staff I've encountered have been helpful, so no complaints there either. Plenty of parking (although reduced slightly currently due to works along Waverley Walk). Booked over the phone for 5 people on holiday (£17.40). When we arrived we were told we needed a shopping trolley token to use on the security lockers which none of us had. Reception didn’t have any for sale so I had to sit in the viewing gallery to watch valuables. Shocking. Family of 8, 6 adults 2 under 5's. Price good for entry, facilities fairly good however no showers to use after swim. Downsides of visit, the area and water was far to cold. We didn't last longer than half hour in water just couldn't keep warm enough!! Definitely needs heating turned up and water temp increased.. Best in the Borders and Edinburgh area! Lovely design which is great for kids to learn to swim. Clean changing rooms. Super tasty and cheap food served by lovely staff in the cafe. Only criticism would be the showers need to stay on for a wee bit longer as always having to push the on button on multiple times. Overall great pool. Would totally recommend 🌟 Food wasn't very good, was great but sad the flume no longer works the inflatable were ok.i played £2 for a 1.05 item at the vending machine and got 75p back Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
