The Quarry Swimming and Fitness Centre

The changing rooms are intensely hot. The pool water has a weird sideway flow about halfway up the pool. It's heavily used with lap swimming scheduled intermittently through the day. The lanes are a free for all speed-wise. There were lots of breaststokers on a Saturday and the lap lanes were limited to half the pool

An old building, but charming. Separate sex changing facilities joined by a central mixed changing area is quite nice. Showers in the men’s are good if you find one that works! The pool is not deck level, but the deck isn’t elevated too high from the water. The edges of the pool, however, are grates where it could be easy to lose things. The water was quite warm, too hot for an intense swim. A spine of heating vents above the centre of the pool length-wise can cause one to shift across a lane.
