Many sites post stories of his visit with positive comments or criticisms. In particular, regular visitors to this pool with considerable experience have expressed that after the change of leadership of the institution in 2014, some negative trends began to be noted, which was not the case before.
An excess of bleach was noted in the water, from which the eyes watery over the next days. The information board did not work, where information about the water temperature was reported.
The mode of visiting the sauna was not regulated, visitors did not have time to warm up normally after swimming. The coach constantly shouted loudly at the training guys, which created a rather uncomfortable atmosphere.
Later reviews
Judging by the latest reviews of this year, the situation in the pool has changed for the better. Visitors noted a lot of positive points.
Many speak out that they intend to extend the subscription to the pool of the Ural Central Committee, because they are comfortable with the water temperature, a small number of people during the visit, they are pleased with the sauna, the cozy home atmosphere in the lobby, and the polite attitude of the staff. Users appreciated the sufficient availability of parking spaces near the pool building, the ability to immediately purchase the missing swimming accessories (for example, a hat) at the box office.
Regarding the paid trainer, the reviews were also in a positive aspect. Although he sometimes yells at the children, but without insults. Parents of the children involved are swimming right there on other paths of the pool, while no complaints have been expressed about the coach from them.
Reviews of the morning pool visit
Women write in reviews that they are trying to visit the Ural pool early, from eight in the morning.
They are satisfied that at this time there are much fewer people than in the evening hours, for example, up to seven people sometimes swim on one lane at 18.45, which, of course, creates a lot of inconvenience.
In the morning, no more than three people are on the track. Sometimes in the freezing winter periods there are 2-3 people in the entire pool. The water here is clear. The only negative is that the sauna does not work in the morning.
Getting to the car is quite convenient.
After 8.45, training in children begins and it becomes noisy. Some reviewers recommend using your own hairdryer, as existing hair dryers work in very slow motion.
There are no power sockets inside the women's locker room, but they can be used at the exit next to the common locker room.
There are certain discounts for senior citizens, which is very convenient.
More pool reviews
Many people call the pool "Ural" very good, note the presence of cascades, which are convenient to massage the back. They respond well to the trainers who teach swimming children, about the cordiality of staff.
I like the opportunity to cheaply taste milk shakes that are pleasant to the taste at the counter.
Recently overhauled the entire complex. The pool bath at this moment was completely redone. Outwardly, everything looks clean and tidy.
There are positive reviews about water aerobics classes in the pool, while only good things are said about water: the temperature is comfortable, the smell of bleach is absent. In a small buffet you can try a wellness cocktail, in particular, oxygen.
As a negative factor, the fact that the size of the locker rooms and showers is not large enough is noted, so sometimes you have to wait your turn long enough to rinse.
Despite the rather large volume of the sauna, a lot of people can fill up, while the front door is constantly opened and closed, so it is not possible to achieve a high temperature.
