Fantastic experience: Love the Thames Pool, love that's it's heated, swimming helps with pain, and the pool is a safe environment. Swimming centers my mind and gives me a small social life, meeting new people in a non intrusive way. It is good for everyone's health physically and mentally. The staff are friendly, helpful and kind. The pool and surrounding areas are kept clean and all the facilities are spotless. Thank you for your mahi.

Positive experience: A nice pool but lacks any slides for the children. Also needs to take the lane ropes down so kids can play in the pool together, without getting told all the time to not touch the ropes.

Positive experience: Great place to cool down when it's hot. Often go there to cool down in summer when I am in Thames.

Karlene Lee 6 years ago

Positive experience: I recently shifted to Thames and wanted to keep up my aqua-jogging and was pleased to see a lane set aside for jogging. The water isnt all that deep but with a dome placed over the entire pool and heated water, it was more than fit for the job. I would have given it a four star rating because, in addition, the staff were really friendly and helpful and its great value at $4.50 standard adult rate per swim. It loses a point for the changing rooms tho which didnt have separate change cubicles and were outside of the dome. Dont let that put you off tho.

Melli 6 years ago

Positive experience: We just took a hot shower here. The changing room was quite big and has a heater in it (with a ten minute timer), a mirror and a plug for a fan. In a normal size shower two people can shower at the same time - that’s in my opinion really close... it could be a bit cleaner in my opinion but that’s just my own perception. The staff was very cool and fun!
