Reviews:

This pool is fantastic! 50 meters is a glide.
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.

Data source:
|
We initially collected the information for this listing from a variety of published sources, electronic and otherwise. Admission and water temperatures were provided by management in July of 1999.
(The "Data source" may have contributed the initial, basic information used to create this listing but, in most cases, that information will have been added to over time by a number of other sources - most often, other swimmers. We can't acknowledge the source of each bit of information, but we are grateful to all contributors.)
