I’ve been swimming with Gym Plus for 8 years now and every week I enjoy my time there. Swimming helps with my recovery as a track runner and triathlon training. Jean has been teaching me since i was 5 years old and has built my confidence as a swimmer. I am now in the swim club and it has made me a stronger swimmer. Gym Plus is a friendly, helpful and great place to swim, I would highly recommend Gym Plus.
