Important Notice Please Read

Swimmers Guide is not connected with any of the facilities listed on this site in any way. We cannot tell you the pools’ opening and closing times or when Senior Aerobics classes are held; we cannot tell you about the availability or cost of swimming lessons; we cannot get you discounted admission to swim at any of them; and we cannot help you find your children’s lost goggles or bathing suits.

We can and do try to give you reliable information about the pools, their locations, their admission policies, and their single-visit or casual swimming prices. Where possible, we include hypertext links to the pools’ own official websites and Facebook pages, clickable email addresses, and links to the websites of the clubs and teams that swim there. Look to those resources within each listing for more detailed information.

The data in the site is under continual review and is revised whenever the site’s editor becomes aware of a change, but, with more than 20,000 listings, a complete, periodic review of every listing takes about seven years to complete; in many places, prices will change four or five times before we have a chance to check the pool’s official website again.

For that reason, we ask for your help: If any of the information in the listing is incorrect, out of date, or could be improved, please tell us. There is an "Edit" button on just about every line of every listing, click on the edit button to tell us what needs to be changed. (No, it's not a place for you to ask us questions. What we have in each listing is the latest news we have.)

Also, please consider checking the listings of the pools you regularly use at home or when traveling, as your knowledge may be helpful to someone else who is unfamiliar with the area and visiting for the first time. Just go to the Add a Pool section of the site, read the first page, then fill out the questionnaire.

Facility Notes

Although the pool is striped for 5 lanes, it is usually operated with two lane ropes creating three lanes for swimming.

Facility Reviews

Recently refurbished but the pool is overly warm, very shallow at one end, and lane swimming etiquette is poorly observed.
[April, 2004]
This is my local pool, but I've given up swimming there. It's crowded and not very clean.
Relatively quiet at peak times and closes either at 8 or 9 most evenings. The pool is a very untypical 30m long, so not very good for professionals! It is quite an old pool but clean and, as mentioned, there are three, wide lanes and a very shallow end.
The changing rooms are now modernised and clean with new lockers, etc. It is a 30m pool but the strangest thing is the depth at the shallow end - 2'9" (~0.8m), which is shallow enough for your hands to touch the bottom swimming front crawl. I went at 7 AM and there were only three people in the wide fast-lane, which was comfortable to get a decent workout.

Slightly unusual in that the entrance to the pool is the deep end rather than the shallow. I agree with the earlier comment about it being too warm. It is nice to swim in, however, the lanes are wide enough to overtake. The ladies changing rooms are clean and tidy; the lockers use 20p coin (refundable). There are individual shower cubicles, but the shower temperature was "bracing" to say the least!

Rating: 4 on a scale of 10. This pool is terrible for lap swimming. The very shallow shallow-end stops real swimming (freestyle, breaststroke, whatever) seven or eight meters from the end of the pool and it’s almost impossible to even do a touch turn.

I gave it four points because, if you must swim (and sometime you have to, no matter what), this is a pool of last resort. Also, it was barely 25ºC (77ºF) the day I swam. In winter.
