It was not a bad experience but I would like to confirm if the teachers are SEN trained ? I have my son in a SEN swiming lessons but it seems we are left mostly on our own in the pool. I am not a swimming teacher nor can I swim so how do I get him to swim or learn the basic without help from the professionals to direct me .
To be honest my son is having fun in the pool but it would be nice for parents to have a particular guideline or targets to do with SEN kids not just come into.the pool and play . Thanks

HI Toyin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're pleased to hear that your son enjoys being in the water and looks forward to his lessons.
We understand your concerns regarding the level of guidance and support provided during the sessions. We want every participant to have a positive, productive experience and understand that parents and carers may need clearer goals and guidance during lessons.
We would encourage you to speak with the swimming teacher at your next visit or email the centre at kentishTown@GLL.ORG so they can discuss the lesson structure with you, and help ensure that both you and your son are getting the most from the programme.
Thank you again for your valuable feedback.

Members are bullied and harassed at Kentish Town Sports Centre
I joined Kentish Town Sports Centre just in August 2026 and am a fee-paying member. Within 2 weeks I got to experience the bullying culture at the centre. I was bullied, harassed, discriminated against, and humiliated by a lifeguard, Carlie (not sure of the spelling) in Grafton Pool during the Ladies swim time on 20 Aug when I was quietly swimming in my lane. Her attitude was so arrogant, her language belittling and foul, and her conduct unprofessional and rude, it left me in tears, and I left in just 30 mins before telling her I would make a written complaint for that bullying behaviour. However, when I complained verbally to the duty manager, I got another shock when he said she was "professional". Telling off members, shouting and talking in a rough rude manner and being discriminatory in conduct would be gross misconduct in other companies, but Better manager tells me she was 'professional'; I wonder what grade must be 'unprofessional' for them... I just want a refund and never want to go back where I am treated like a second-class citizen. I do not recommend this centre or Better to anyone. Be careful, guys!

Wonderful experience at Kentish Town sport
My experience with the centre was wonderful, came in for a single time swim and the staff on reception was so polite and professional, explained to me all about the pool, and helped me to book it for it, as well they let me aware that the temperature of the pool was not as usual, but still the water was refreshing and I had a nice experience while swimming.
Changing areas were clean and I saw staff coming in and out to tidy them up during my time there.
I would totally come back for another session

Rude teachers
Unfortunately Better consistently employs rude and apathetic swimming teachers who are not good at their job and whom delight in displaying an attitude, talking down and even insult and physically push around both the children and the adults they don't like.
Curt in manners, nothing learned over years of attendance, and constant rudeness shouldn't be the price to pay for supporting a charitable enterprise like Better love to reminds us that's what they are.
Do Better.
Common courtesy to the parents and care for the kids in their charge isn't too much to ask.

We’d really like to look into this further and address your concerns properly, and we would be more than happy to ask one of the team to contact you about this.

The main thing is my daughter really enjoys her lessons with Vincent as first she disliked having group lessons with every single time new teacher. Because of that we had to stop it. But now she has an amazing reacher who put himself so much in the process of teaching. He is very sensitive, professional and mentioned that my daughter is very skilled. She knows a lot already and likes her swimming so much. I’m happy as well. Thank you so much.

It sounds like his supportive approach has made a real difference! We’ll make sure your kind words are passed on to him.

Thanks again for taking the time to let us know.

New Music App letting everyone down
I think your new music app is pretty awful. It sounds like very mediocre singers crucifying previously wonderful and memorable classic songs. The tracks are remixed and almost unrecognisable. You are doing a disservice to the original artists and composers of these songs. We used to sing along in our Aqua Aerobics but now we can't relate to these speeded up cover versions. I'd like some waterproof earplugs please.

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your review.
We’re aware that there has been some concern and confusion about the changes to music licensing in our fitness classes from this Spring
In late 2025 we became aware that the cost of our current music license that covers all our 250 leisure centres and gyms across the UK would increase significantly. As a charitable social enterprise focused on community benefit, we carefully reviewed our options to ensure we continue to invest our resources responsibly and sustainably.
Following this review, we asked our fitness instructors to transition to PPL pre-cleared, royalty-free music. This approach allows us to manage rising costs while continuing to deliver the high-quality classes you expect.
In practical terms, all instructors are being provided with free access to Power Music; one of the most widely used fitness music platforms. Power Music enables instructors to create their own playlists using professionally recorded studio tracks (not AI-generated), giving them flexibility while ensuring full compliance with licensing requirements.
We hope this provides reassurance and clarity about why we have made this decision, the care we have taken to engage with and support our instructors and our commitment to maintaining your class experience. As we implement these changes we will continue to monitor feedback and engage with staff and customers.
Warm Regards
Hazal
