Recently i have heard that not that many people want to go to the new Aqualibrium Pool and Gym because there is glass windows that let people in the cafe watch what you are doing!
I dont like it either
actually i have stoped going.
And im sure some other people have as well

what do you think?????

apt name eh? sighs....

Ever wondered that the people in the cafe might not be happy at those in the gym watching them eating!

I assume you raised your concerns with the Aqualibrium and gave them a chance to respond?

naw to busy
should a?

Any swimming pool that I have been in have a spectators area which surprisingly enough means you can watch people in the pool.
The OLD POOL had a spectators area.

It can,t be that off putting for all the sessions which are practically full every hour.

The pool is open some days for 14 hours, 80 people a session potentially around 1100 swimmers don't know how many use the gym glad to see that they all are all not too vain to be seen in public.

Are you sure you have your parents permission to be on here?

I think it would help everyone involved if you (the public) directed your comments initially to the management at the Aqualibrium before posting messages on here. That way we can find out their response rather than basically gossip (good name right enough)

As Amron says spectator areas allow the public to see.

So anyone can go into the cafe and watch the swimmers??? have i got this correct?

There is a difference between a spectator area and a public cafe. If it is a cafe open to the general public who are not part of a swimming party and they have a veiw of the pool.. someone is going to take offence sooner or later.

i've been to the pool for a paddle and the gym for the rowing machines. it never bothered me that people might be watching me. probably because im stunningly good looking with a perfect bod. it only becomes a problem to me if i seen a guy looking at me....edited yet again Admin - please note this is Local News and Issues not MSN

Who cares if people can see you? people should no be so self obsessed and body obsessed. If someone watching the gym or pool was to laugh at anyone they are the ones sitting in a cafe eating cake not the ones making an effort!!!

Unfortunately these people are everywhere .........so are you going to stop kids, teenagers,young adults going to the pool, playpark, the skatepark, playing football , the beach even going down the street.

Reading the paper and listening to the news most of these people are accessing sites on the internet.

beachcomber do you not think people would notice if there was people ogling kids from the viewing gallery. or do you think there shouldn't be one at all.. that would make the swimming pool unique to any other pool.

AAmron.. I dont really think these people are everywhere.. I think nowadays we look for them everywhere... That is why we are not allowed to take photos of our kids in school plays or sports days etc... One of the things I often mention when I am talking about CN is the fact you can talk to kids in the street, or stand and watch kids playing without fear of someone calling the police..... A viewing gallery at the pool I wouldn't see as a problem myself (but down here they do have ladies only sessions for those who are a bit self conscious).. But whether or not there is a need for public viewing at the gym I'm not too sure, I would have thought if folk were trying to shift a few pounds they wouldnt want to be gawped at... But what the hell do I know I havent been in a gym since Mr Burgoyne was still dishing out bunny hops.

For those people incapable of following a thread, the comment was in relation to people in the cafe being able to see into the pool; nothing to do with the viewing gallery etc.

Try and keep up at the back.

can the people in the cafe look into the pool?? i know i couldnt when i was in the cafe..the seats for the cafe are set back from the viewing gallery.. and i know you cant see into the gym from the cafe because there is a wall blocking the view..so i don't see how kids can be ogled from the cafe..thats why i mentioned the viewing gallery..i just took it for granted people having an opinion about this had been to the cafe..
