Reviews:

The place has seen better days, but there isn't the money to throw at it and the pool itself is nice. I use it on late night swimming Mondays and Thursdays, with two lanes shut off before 7 PM for swim school. The pool is sparsely attended in the winter, which means you can get some laps under your belt. In the summer, however, it's a bit of a bind, weaving in and out of the kids.
If you disagree with this review, click HERE. If we can fit your comments into this section, we will - "different strokes for different folks" is particularly applicable to the swimming community.

Oliver Merrington's www.lidos.org.uk has an extensive list of "lidos" (that's British for "outdoor swimming pools"). If you're looking for a place to swim in the U.K. that's not under roof in the summer, www.lidos.org.uk should fill the bill.
