Reviews:

Very old and tatty. Due to continued investment over the years, while it may have been old and tatty at one time, it does not give that impression now. The water is generally very clean, as are the tiles. Heavy use means that the chlorine can sometimes be strong, but this is rare. Most people follow lane discipline well. The changing rooms are clean, and the lockers work most of the time and always give your 50p back. Pool staff are young, keen and alert, and friendly.
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.
