It is divided into Ladies and Gents and each has 2 showers, 2 toilets and 3 "dressing rooms".
This is the first time that toilets have been placed near the pool and that is wonderful.
In the past, the obligatory 'shower before entering the pool' has been carried out in a central area but it was simply two constantly running showers in a little tin box with no doors and no roof. There was nothing wrong with it but I suppose it was pretty primitive. One advantage, it gave 99% of the elderly men the chance to repeat (frequently), "This is the first time I've showered with a lady I don't know!"
The new showers are lovely -- hot and cold water and a soap dispenser, and a door, walls and ceiling!
The dressing rooms are utterly ridiculous. They have one small hook on the door and nowhere to sit. The water runs down from the shower end, so these rooms and the toilets have permanently wet floors. There's not a grab rail in sight. I thought it would have been obligatory to have disabled access or aids. The small hook isn't large enough to hold your clothes so they dangle on the wet floor.
There's no mixed sexes room so therefore no place for husbands and wives to assist each other and what do parents do with little kids?
I hate seeing a good idea spoiled because of lack of planning and forethought.
