Horwich Leisure Centre Ltd

Great gym with a friendly atmosphere. Been training with Joe one of the members of the team great guy. Really coming on with the progress thanks to his help. Just wish the opening times were better on a Saturday as I work so can't get there but that's the only negative.

Used the pool, adequate changing rooms and showers . Main pool and small one for young children. Pool areas were clean and tidy. Viewing balcony for spectators which has no accessibility restrictions.

Arrived for a pay as you go swim, not my usual swimming pool to attend but much more availability to swim during the day at Horwich. James was on the desk, I front of me was 2 ladies with their children - James was really accommodating for their needs and greeted with a warm manner. James greeted me with the same approach and demeanour. Even quickly advised me on memberships in case I was thinking of returning. A great experience, definitely will be returning.

I deliberately chose a women only swimming session and was very surprised to find shared changing rooms for both men and women, including shower area. There were plenty of cubicles, though, to get changed in private. I wasn't put off by this and will go again, but I think there should be a note on the website to advise women who may find it distressing to be in such close proximity to men. I chose the session just so that it would be quieter for my first visit there. The centre is lovely and modern and staff were very helpful. Will be visiting again to go swimming.
