Facility Reviews
The water in the public pool is ridiculously warm. I went on a Saturday morning and had a lane to myself for some time. People seemed OK about a faster swimmer passing them.
The best public pool I've found in London in a decade. It was clean and the water temperature was fine.
The six-lane pool is cooler and not-chlorinated; it's hard to fault it. The eight-lane, public pool is nice, but far too hot. Otherwise, it's a great facility.
There's no lane swimming during school term weekdays 9 AM to 6:30 PM or Saturdays 8 AM to 1 PM.
The club at Virgin Atlantic arranged a SwimFit event with some Team GB swimmers, so I tagged along. The public pool, at 28ºC, is a warm for lap swimming; otherwise it's alright and the lane width is OK.
In Pool 2, for use by Virgin Active club members only, the water is cooler and more suitable for lap swimming - about 27ºC. It's not too busy but the blue tiled pool bottom is a bit dark.

I swam laps here twice in late July, 2022. I thought it was fantastic! I went around 10/11 AM, always had a lane to myself, the staff was very nice and gracious, the price was very, very reasonable. Yes, the water was a little warm, but I was so happy to find a pool, and it was clean. They don't supply kickboards so bring your own if you can. So glad I found this pool!
