March 2014 update: the pool is now run by a new organisation, and changes haven’t been for the best. The whole sauna, hot tub and steam bath suite has disappeared, after questionable decisions by the Council, to make room for(yet another) gym, as if there weren’t enough already. The pool itself is still fine, but for some reason you seem to be given coloured wristbands more often at week-ends to limit how long you can stay, and some nasty smells have started lingering in the showers/toilets area. Too bad, really: it used to be so much fun, now it’s only just a pool.

Alright, lemme give you the low down. This pool is pretty good. They’ve got a few lanes where people can do laps. PROBLEMS: The fast lane is VERY fast and the slow lane is VERYSLOW. No real inbetween. Its also pretty expensive to swim here. SOLUTIONS: Come at lunchtime. Very few people in the lanes. In terms of £, get your fitness card and enter through the small turnstile right behind someone. Beep your card as you go through and even if you have no money on it you can pass through as the guy before you already opened up the turnstile. DOIT!
