Bad lane management by the staff. You often get slow people doing breast stroke in the fast lane.

I just want to say a huge thank you to the lovely staff member who helped me right before closing time. Even though it was the end of the day, she was so cheerful, kind, and happy to help. It made such a difference and left me with such a positive impression of the place. Really appreciated the friendliness and care!

Great 50m swimming pool - the only one in Edinburgh! I used it many times while preparing for my Ironman triathlon, and it’s perfect for serious swim training. As a fitness coach and triathlete, I really appreciate having this facility in the city.
