This is a nice 20m hotel pool that provides free lockers (a £1 coin deposit required is returned). There is no lifeguard. Although the listing shows a water temperature of 29ºC, it felt more like 27º or 28º to me. There are no backstroke flags, but ceiling markings serve that purpose. A “swim hat” is not required. Bring your own towel.
The pool has congenial open hours, being surrounded by municipal pools with extremely restricted lap/lane swimming hours. I was in the pool alone at noon, but the locker room was busy, presumably with people using the exercise equipment, steam room, sauna, etc.
Consider arriving hungry, as there is a restaurant serving tasty food at attractive prices on site.
An American, I felt as if I had passed through a quantum tunnel, as I found the English spoken in Northern Ireland to be even more difficult to understand than that spoken in Glasgow, Scotland.
