After visiting HSC with my little boy who attends swimming lessons I was physically sick from the absolutely disgusting stench in the female changing rooms. It smells like sewage and the level of hygiene in there is extremely poor. I have been told that the male changing rooms are spotless but have never been in.

I wonder, what did they actually do when they spent lots of money on the centre a few years ago, the only difference in the changing rooms I see is new lockers. The benches, toilets, showers & floor tiles are just as minging as they ever were. You are supposed to improve your health by attending a sports centre not put it as risk.

I have complained to the staff but it would seem that it's acceptable because its been like that for years!

Now I learn that the prices have just risen in April!!! Laughable!

So these Easter holidays I chose not to take advantage of the 'free swimming for children' at HSC and took mine to Waves and paid packet to swim in a packed pool with not much nicer facilities, though there was no smell & I actually managed to retain my stomach contents this time.
