How its customers respond about the pool
Moscow is a very large city, which has a huge number of establishments where there are swimming pools, and one of the most popular can be called the Fili pool. Reviews of it show that most visitors are satisfied with the organization of the complex. So, some people write that this is a great place for swimming, others say that the institution has many shortcomings. Let's try to consider all the pros and cons of the pool, which visitors often talk about.
Advantages
According to customers who choose classes at Fili for themselves, one of the main and important advantages of the pool is a comfortable stay in it. The temperature here is very pleasant, both air and water. Pool water is like fresh milk, and the air is fresh, this can only be found in expensive metropolitan fitness centers. After a hard day, it’s very pleasant to be in such an atmosphere. Another important advantage that Fili possesses is that the pool is disinfected with a small amount of chlorine, and the ozonation system is pleased. There is practically no smell of chemistry here, and the skin after classes does not deteriorate.
If you arrive early in the morning (at the opening) or in the evening hours (after 20.00), you can swim freely. There are practically no people.
Regarding the coaching staff, you can also find a lot of good reviews. Visitors praise both children's and adult instructors for their professionalism, correctness and polite attitude.
The pool itself is clean, the interior is pretty, despite the fact that the institution has been operating for many years, you can say from Soviet times.
Very affordable prices, inexpensive children's passes. It is considered one of the cheapest in Moscow.
In general, the pool is nice, deep, one of the few where there are 50-meter paths. Great for people of any background and all ages.
disadvantages
Among the negative reviews you can find those where people say that “Fili” is a pool with a Soviet style of service. Changing rooms and the building itself require repair. There are interruptions in the showers with hot water. On weekends and in the afternoon there is a large influx of visitors, there is not enough space. Also, many note that after the change of leadership, prices almost doubled. For some people, it seems a minus that only swimmers with a certificate from a therapist are allowed in the pool (although for some clients this fact is positive, it is better to spend a little time getting a certificate, but not to worry about your health).
According to some visitors, it is very problematic to get through to the reception: constantly busy, or simply do not pick up the phone. Not always cleaned in locker rooms, there is a lot of water. The toilets have a very unpleasant smell. In summer, the pool is always closed.
Customers arriving at the palace in a private car complain about the lack of parking.
Summarize
To summarize, we can confidently say that Fili is a swimming pool that you can visit. If you evaluate the institution on a five-point scale, then its assessment is a solid four. Large area, good coaching staff, many services and excellent value for money, which is quite a big plus for Moscow.
