The pool has two to three lanes for lap swimming at mid-day during the week and has lap swimming with coaches on certain evenings and at the weekend. At those times, the whole pool may be utilized.

Reviews:
|
Usually busy, the pool is rarely set up for 50m lengths. It's usually divided up and rarely for lane swimming, except for lunchtime or as part of a club meet. Poor swimmers INSIST on doing breadths and I always leave feeling utterly stressed. This could be a fantastic pool facility and, if used as per Edinburgh Commonwealth, would be 90% of the way there, but the management and users are not inclined towards lap swimming.
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.
