Cameron Pool

Cheap way to relax after a day or week’s work. So cheap you will enjoy your stay after using the gym and have a dip in the spa or pool.

Tonight went down to my local pool. This is the pool where I more or less learnt to swim to the level I am today, the pool where I first snuck into a sauna and thought «why would anyone ever do this to themself?»
On entry I was pleasantly suprised to find a very good student price — $ 4.50 including sauna, steam and spa. The pool itself is a quite magnificent beast, with well regulated lanes and a clear division between classes and free swimmers.
After a few laps, I went to the sauna. Impressive. They offer a self — regulating sauna (eliminating splash-​and-​dash), and a lot of bench space — although this quickly filled up as the adult swimming class finished.
Unfortunately, after a couple of reheats, the sauna filled up and I experienced another sauna trauma — spitting onto the sauna rocks. Up there with farting in the sauna and weeing on the sauna, this act filled the room with an unsavoury scent and also looked disgusting as it sizzled away.
Overall, a good sauna /​swim experience. Walking past the door of «Nan’s Pool» bought back memories of struggling to hold onto the side of the pool wall as I valiantly kicked away, bringing tears of joy to my eyes as I watched the aqua joggers slowly canter through the chlorine-​filled, aqua blue sardine tin.
