Facility Reviews
This pool is warm, but the air is not as warm as the pool, so it's OK. There are six lanes in total; three lanes are usually set up for lane swimming, labeled slow, medium, and fast. But there is really only one lane for swimming and the rest are all head-up breaststroke. The fast lane is quite well kept as freestyle-only by the locals. No fins or paddles are allowed but, if you are the only one in the lane, some lifeguards will turn a blind eye. If a breaststroker should get in with you don't expect any help from the lifeguards - although they will move someone from the medium lane if they think he's too fast - go figure! It is quiet though, and most of the time you are likely to have the lane to yourself. Lockers cost a nonrefundable 20p. Communal showers are available and there are four shower cubicles. Parking is free.
