A lot of money for 20 minutes pool time
10:10am Sunday 10th August 2008
IN the current war against obesity, can anyone explain the logic in charging 50p for a one-year-old baby to swim in Trafford, especially when accompanied by my eight-year-old, paying £1.40 and myself at £2.80.
I was advised by the lifeguard that as I had been in the heated baby pool for 20 minutes I was putting my baby at risk of hyperthermia.
Obviously I consider myself a responsible parent and on his suggestion we left the pool.
Moral of the story, during the summer holidays £4.70 for a twenty minute family activity is beyond our budget. Incidentally, both my sons were having a lovely time all be it for twenty minutes. We spent longer in the changing rooms!
