Lots of kids jumping in throughout the slow lane. Impossible to get a swim.
Northolt Leisure Centre的点评
点评:I'm amazed that there aren't any casualties in the main pool. The slow lane was packed with kids, jumping in all the way down the lane and the shallow end was teeming. It was impossible to get a swim in it and as I suffer from cramp (which came on after just 10 minutes in the pool) I need to be near the side so that I can hold on if necessary. I had checked online that it was supposed to be for slow lane swimming at the time I was there. I also noticed that nobody was wearing a swimming cap, and although I didn't come across stray hairs there must have been some in the water.
The area immediately beside the slow lane was chocka with shoes - mainly Crocs-style. You can't see the steps as you get into the pool, although they are there, etched into the side. Changing lanes necessitates diving under the water. The divisions are hard metal and sit on the surface of the water - you can't lift them. The final two lanes were for classes and the teaching pool was busy with lessons.
I tried several of the changing booths before I found one that locked. You need 20p if you want to secure a locker. I noticed that most people don't bother to pay and just leave their clothes unprotected.
The floor of the changing rooms didn't look too clean and the toilets smelled. I won't be returning.
翻译:主泳池竟然没有人员伤亡,真是令人惊讶。慢泳道挤满了孩子,他们沿着泳道一路跳下去,浅水区也挤满了人。根本没法在里面游泳,而且我抽筋了(刚进泳池10分钟就抽筋了),所以得靠边站,以便在必要时能抓紧。我上网查过,当时我去的时候,主泳池应该是慢泳道。我还注意到,没有人戴泳帽,虽然我没有看到散落的头发,但水里肯定有一些。
慢泳道旁边的区域堆满了鞋子——主要是Crocs的。虽然台阶就在那里,刻在泳池边上,但进去的时候看不到。换泳道需要潜入水中。泳道的分隔物是坚硬的金属,放在水面上——你抬不起来。最后两条泳道是供上课的,教学池里挤满了人。
我试了好几个更衣室,才找到一个带锁的。如果你想要一个储物柜,需要20便士。我发现大多数人懒得付钱,直接把衣服放在外面,不加保护。
更衣室的地板看起来不太干净,厕所里还有股臭味。我以后不会再来了。
