Anything else you wish to tell us?

The changing room is very basic and there is only 1 disabled changing room, there is a plastic chair available for the hoist, I would be mindful that the floor may be wet, and the chair is very unreliable. The showers are spacious and easily accessible from the changing rooms on the way from the pool.
