点评:Had to go to Westminster Lodge swimming pool as I couldn't get to my usual pool. I have to say it was a terrible experience. Firstly it is expensive, £7.80 for a swim is a lot. Secondly they have a 'changing village' which is certainly not my preference as would prefer single sex changing rooms. The changing village was filthy with ingrained dirt in the floor tiles and the toilets weren't any better. The swimming pool itself is okay however it is badly organised. When you book you have to select the speed of lane you want, i.e. fast, medium or slow, rather than swim in the lane appropriate to the speed of the other swimmings present. The lanes are all double lanes rather than segregated into single lanes which makes it easier to have 'fast/medium fast/medium etc' so the medium lane was full of mixed ability swimmers, as was the fast lane. The lanes were very busy and had the faster club swimmers overtaking in the middle which made the whole thing rather dangerous.
The showers afterwards, those that were working, were absolutely filthy with mold all up the walls, along with the congealed lumps of shampoo and clumps of hair. I foolishly tried a hair dryer to dry my hair however couldn't locate one that worked.
I would urge anyone wanting a good swimming experience to try elsewhere.
翻译:因为没法去我常去的泳池,所以只好去了威斯敏斯特旅馆的泳池。不得不说,那真是一次糟糕的经历。首先,泳池很贵,7.80英镑游一次太贵了。其次,他们有个“更衣区”,这肯定不是我的喜好,因为我更喜欢分性别的更衣室。更衣区很脏,地砖上都是顽固的污垢,厕所也好不到哪里去。泳池本身还行,但是管理混乱。预订时,你必须选择你想要的泳道速度,即快速、中速或慢速,而不是选择与其他游泳者速度相适应的泳道。所有泳道都是双泳道,而不是单泳道,这样更容易区分“快/中速”、“快/中速”等等,所以中泳道和快泳道都挤满了水平参差不齐的游泳者。泳道非常拥挤,速度更快的俱乐部游泳者会在中间超车,这让整个过程相当危险。
之后的淋浴间,那些还能用的,都脏得要命,墙上全是霉菌,还有凝结的洗发水和一团团头发。我愚蠢地用吹风机吹干头发,却找不到一个能用的。
我强烈建议任何想享受美好游泳体验的人去别处试试。
