This is the State Swim I came to when I was recovering from an illness and needed to gently rebuild my fitness. It worked as I ultimately trained and became a swim instructor. It’s not the fanciest establishment around, and I question whether its popularity will go downhill now the big, impressive aquatic centre’s opened down the road. However, it’s a decent 25m pool, nicely heated, and has shower rooms without doors or barriers, so expect to see others and be seen in the nudie. They have a range of sessions between the opening times I’ve stated, from public lap swimming, to lessons, to aquarobics. I suggest you grab a timetable or check it out on the website. In a nutshell — go water babies!
