Swimming pool "Ural", Ufa: reviews

In the Bashkir capital, the craving for physical education and sports has been cultivated since childhood, so the attendance of sports institutions there is quite high.

Young people in Ufa, people of middle and more adult age, as well as children regularly go swimming, leaving different impressions about their impressions. The pool "Ural" was no exception to this rule.

Many sites post stories about his visit with positive comments or critical remarks. In particular, regular visitors of this basin with solid experience say that after the change of management of the institution in 2014 some negative tendencies began to be noted, which was not the case before.

In the water, there was an overabundance of chlorine, from which during the following days, eyes were watered. The information board did not work, where information about the water temperature was reported.

The regime of visiting the sauna was not settled, the visitors did not have time to warm themselves after swimming. The coach constantly shouted loudly at the training guys, which created a rather uncomfortable atmosphere.

More recent reviews

Judging by the latest reviews of this year, the situation in the basin has changed for the better. Visitors noted many positive points.

Many people say that they intend to extend the subscription to the pool of the Central Committee of the Urals, because they are satisfied with the temperature of the water, a small number of people during the visit, they are satisfied 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 opportunity to purchase immediately at the rental missing swimming accessories (for example, a hat).

As for the paid trainer, the reviews were also in a positive aspect. Although he sometimes screams at children, but without insults. Parents engaged in children swim immediately on other paths of the pool, while any complaints about the coach on their part does not speak.

Reviews of the morning visit to the pool

Women write in the reviews that they try to visit the pool "Ural" early, at eight o'clock in the morning.

They are satisfied that at this time much less people than in the evening hours, for example, on one track at 18.45 sometimes floats up to seven people, which, of course, creates a lot of inconvenience.

In the morning there are no more than three people on the path. Sometimes in frosty winter periods there are 2-3 people on the whole basin. The water here is clean. The only downside is that the sauna does not work in the mornings.

Getting on the car is quite convenient.

After 8.45, training begins in children and becomes noisy. Some authors of the reviews recommend using their own hair dryer, since the existing hair dryers work in a very slow mode.

Inside the women's locker room, there are no electrical outlets, but they can be used at the exit next to the general locker room.

There are certain discounts for retirees, which is very convenient.

More reviews about the pool

Many call the pool "Ural" very good, note the presence of cascades, which is convenient to massage your back. They speak well of coaches who teach children to swim, about the cordiality of staff.

I like the opportunity to try delicious milkshakes at the front of the lobby.

The recently completed overhaul of the entire complex is underway. At that moment, the pool bath was completely redone. Outwardly everything looks clean and neat.

There are positive reviews of aqua aerobics classes in the pool, while water is only good: the temperature is comfortable, the smell of chlorine is absent. In a small buffet you can try a health cocktail, in particular, an oxygen cocktail.

As a negative factor, noted the fact that the size of locker rooms and showers are not large enough, so sometimes you have to wait your turn long enough to rinse.

In the sauna, despite its large enough volume, there can be a lot of people, while the front door is constantly opened and closed, so it can not reach a high temperature.

Concluding remarks

Analyzing the feedback on the visit to the Ural basin, we can conclude that, despite the existing shortcomings, it remains quite attractive for many people.

It is a pleasure for children, a large number of people visit it during the week and on weekends.

The management of the swimming pool and the whole sports complex is carrying out measures to improve the conditions of its operation.
