The main public swimming pool is at the Bath Sports and Leisure Centre. The 25m pool is bookable by the public, and often has lane swimming sessions available during opening hours.
Up the hill, on Bath University’s campus, you can find the sports training village which is home to a 50m Olympic size swimming pool. Again, there are lane swimming sessions that are bookable by the public, and there is ample parking in campus car parks.
Kids Splash Pool in Bath
There is only one in Bath itself, and that is at the Bath Sports and Leisure Centre. A nice little pool with a couple of slides and some fun water fountains. Can get very busy though on weekends and holidays.
Outdoor Swimming in Bath
Newly refurbished Cleveland Pools is one of Britain’s oldest swimming pools, and the lido has just been reopened to the public. The pool is heated during Summer months, with plans to allow cold water swimming during the rest of the year.
Hidden inside the RUH hospital grounds is a 20m outdoor pool, which is open for public swimming during the Summer months. RUH staff are given priority, however public booking is available up to two weeks in advance.
