Notes:
|
Weekday mornings and afternoons after 2 P.M. portions of the pool may be roped-off for instrucitonal classes, leaving only 17 metres available for lane swimming. As this may not be apparent from the pool's published schedule, a call in advance is recommended. There is also a large, warmer, leisure pool with flumes for the kids. Lockers require a £1.00 coin, which is returned.

Reviews:

A great pool to swim in. Wide lanes (usually only four to swim in; slow, medium, fast, and a lane for children, others, etc. not swimming laps) and a good cool temperature. The leisure pool attracts kids away from the lap pool. Showers are good. The changing area is horribly hot – by the time you are dressed you will be dripping with sweat. Adult lap swimming from 6.30 AM on Tues. and Thurs. and from 7AM on Mon., Wed., and Fri. – finishing at 8.45 AM all days.
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.
