Bristol South Swimming Pool

This place has recently celebrated its sixty-fifth birthday and it used to be known as the "slipper baths" due to the hot baths that used to operate here. It's a large pool (30.5 metres length and 10.5 metres width) and offers the chance to watch competition swimming, either from the spectator balcony, or from poolside. Old-fashioned, with curtained cubicles around the edge of the pool, it's definitely got a certain charm, even if it is slightly ancient. It offers a variety of sessions including: women-only sessions, swimming lessons (adult and children), aquababies, early morning and lunchtime lane swimming (particularly popular, adult-only sessions) and aquarobics, plus public sessions when anyone and everyone can come - what this often means is that lots of noisy kids turn up. The timetable is rather complicated, so ring for details. Admission: adults #2.10, children 95p
