The Lansdowne Club

I swam twice at the Club recently. It is a bit of a mixture of old and new, given the age of the building and facilities. I am not sure I would want to do a hard core swim here with tightly timed intervals (there are no visible pace clocks), but it was a pretty great place to swim while travelling. As previously noted, the water is a bit on the cool side. The pool was clean, quiet, and had flutter boards, paddles, and pull buoys, which is always an added bonus. The only real downside is that it doesn’t open until 7:00 AM, which makes it hard when juggling a work schedule.

The pool seemed cooler than 28ºC - maybe 26º - 27º.

The pool and other sports facilities recently reopened after a six-month renovation. It's a brightly lit, sparkling clean facility, not crowded and, overall, a great experience. Towels are provided, the locker rooms are fully equipped, and swim caps are not required.
