Manager had no issues with a little girl being changed in a men’s changing room

Went to take my little girl to swimming lessons in the everlast gym in Llanelli. I don’t like to get her changed in the men’s changing room for obvious reason and I usually use the single baby changing facility they have available to men to get her ready. Baby change was out of order. So my options were to change her in the men’s locker room where there’s no cover or to change her on the floor of the toilet. Absolutely disgraceful. £175 a term for swimming lessons and almost no accommodation for dads with little girls. My little girl was very upset. How can something like this be allowed. If you’re going to host swimming lessons for baby’s and toddlers then you need to have the correct facilities in place.

We called water babies to inform them of the situation and to let them know that the manager of the gym said it had been broken for a few weeks and that he didn’t know when it was going to be fixed. He also said that “it’s not usually an issue because the mums usually take the kids to swimming lessons” which is a crazy thing to say. Obviously this venue was no longer an option for us. We were unfortunately met with a complete lack of understanding from the lady we spoke to at waterbabies. She suggested that it was fine for me to change my little girl in the men’s changing room with no cover because she’s only a little girl and not an adult…. dumbfounded by this. You’d think that a company that deals with toddlers and babies would be more sensitive to these kinds of issues and situations but no. Anything to not give a refund so that we can afford to take her to a more suitable location for her lessons. What a shame.

We’re sorry to hear that you’re not happy with your experience.
Unfortunately, family changing rooms are not something that can always be provided at every venue.This is common across swimming and leisure facilities, not just this venue.
Parents regularly attend swimming with children of the opposite sex, for example, fathers with daughters and mothers with sons, and in these circumstances, parents would generally use the appropriate male or female changing facilities with their child.
Most public leisure centres, swimming pools, and sports clubs (following NSPCC safeguarding recommendations) operate on standard accepted practice allowing children under 8 to use the changing room corresponding to their supervising parent if they cannot change independently.
This does not have an impact on our quality of lessons and we are saddened that you have let this be the reason for your bad review of us.
We cannot comment on the actions of the staff at the venue, although we have been in contact with them regarding the broken changing table and they have said that they are hoping to get this fixed but cannot give us a timescale.
We have offered to move you to another venue but this was declined.
Many Thanks, Water Babies

Quality time with baby and learning a life skill at the same time

The teachers are fantastic, the lessons are just the right balance of time in the water and learning new skills that also help strengthen my baby outside the water. I 1000% recommend water babies to anyone with a newborn. It’s worth every penny. I’ve watched my oldest progress so much in 4 years now watching my twins start and enjoy it is so rewarding. I can’t wait to watch them grow with water babies.
