How the pool responds to its customers
Moscow is a very large city, which has a huge number of establishments with swimming pools, and one of the most popular is the Fili pool. Reviews about 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 note that there are many shortcomings in the institution. Let's try to consider all the pros and cons of the pool, which visitors most often talk about.
Dignity
According to the clients who have chosen classes at Fili, one of the main and important advantages of the pool is a comfortable stay in it. The temperature here is very pleasant, bothwater. The water in the pool is like fresh milk, and the air is fresh, which can only be found in expensive metropolitan fitness centers. After a hard day, it is very nice to be in such an atmosphere. Another important plus that "Fili" has: the pool is disinfected with a small amount of chlorine, the ozonation system pleases. There is practically no smell of chemicals here, and the skin does not deteriorate after classes.
If you come early in the morning (to opening) or in the evening (after 20.00), you can swim freely. Almost no people.
There are also a lot of good things to say about the coaching staff. Visitors praise both children's and adult instructors for their professionalism, correctness and polite attitude.
The pool itself is clean, the interior is nice, despite the fact that the institution has been operating for many years, one might say, since Soviet times.
Very affordable prices, inexpensive children's subscriptions. Considered one of the cheapest in Moscow.
In general, the pool is good, deep, one of the few where there are 50-meter lanes. Great for people of all fitness levels and all ages.
Flaws
Among the negative reviews you can find those where people say that "Fili" is a pool with a Soviet-style service. The locker rooms and the building itself are in need of renovation. There are interruptions in hot water in the showers. On weekends and during the day there is a large influx of visitors, there is not enough space. Also, many note that after the change of leadership, prices have almost doubled. For someIt seems to people that only swimmers with a certificate from a therapist are allowed into the pool (although for some clients this fact is positive, it is better to spend a little time getting a certificate, but not worry about your he alth).
According to some visitors, it is very problematic to get through to the reception: it is constantly busy, or they simply do not pick up the phone. Locker rooms are not always cleaned, there is a lot of water. The toilets have a very bad smell. The pool is always closed during summer.
Customers who arrived at the palace by private car complain about the lack of parking.
Summarizing
Summing up, it's safe to say that "Fili" is a swimming pool that you can visit. If you evaluate the institution on a five-point scale, then its rating is a solid four. Large area, good coaching staff, many services and excellent value for money, which is quite a plus for Moscow.
