What a shame – yet another shortcoming for the Braintree Swimming Centre.
I have recently discovered that children between the ages of eight and 16 are forbidden from using the Leisure Waters facility at Braintree Swimming Centre.
This is the play pool with the interactive equipment that the children all love to use.
When I expressed my disappointment in writing to the general manager recently, he replied: “The age restrictions which are put on the pool and its features are all set out within the manufacturer’s guidance, and this is the guidance that we follow.”
Well, Braintree Council have done themselves proud.
It has managed to spend our money on providing Braintree with a children’s pool which our kids are unable to play in!.
Should I really be surprised?
Probably not.
