Graeme Finch Review of Burnham-On-Sea Swim and Sports...
We are members, the facilities are good, it's orie...
We are members, the facilities are good, it's orientated to people who are there to train (though there are fun sessions as well), the changing rooms are tired but functional. The water chemistry is fantastic, it's never too warm (which can drain you if you're doing a long swim). It's also a deep pool one end, rare and useful. The post swim coffee offering is better than you get in some coffee shops (who knew you could make Starbucks palatable :-). The gym is small but has everything you need from fixed appliances to loose weights and mats. There is a gallery where Spin classes take place (I can't comment, I don't spin, but they always look full).
The staff are both knowledgeable & helpful & of course friendly, Mark the owner is hands on and keen. There is a small shop, selling items that you need to train, not tut and novelties. So if you're looking for a small scale specialist sports shops, look here.
The reach of this facility extends beyond it's boundaries. At Burnham on Seas core, it's fit town and at the core of this movement, is the Burnham-on Sea Swim and Sports Academy, supporting swimmers, gymmers, tri-athletes and runners at every level of ability and from the very youngest to the very oldest.
