New Bath Hotel lido

It has a mythical quality about it, the water is refreshingly cold but does get warmer on sunny days. If you're staying at the hotel then you get access to the pool. The mineral content is high in magnesium and fresh, over 80 tonnes of water flows through on a daily basis and this keeps the pool fresh. Check the times and be prepared... take a towel with you... people with long hair can purchase a cap. Have some shoes you can easily slip off and on. Googles are on hand and Id recommend them. Listen to what the lifeguards say, all of whom are chatty, friendly and all-round good eggs, the water is cold and it can take you by surprise. We watched from our room as the other swimmers came and went and finally took the plunge (excuse the pun) and found it exhilarating. It genuinely sets you up for the day. After the swim we scurried back to the room had a hot drink and climbed into bed to get warm. Jumping straight into a hot shower is not recommended. We both agreed, there is something very special about this pool and the other folk there and the lifeguards add to this community vibe. Everyone is made to feel welcome and we will most certainly be back.

Dont go here unless you have read all of the rules through several times and even then expect the lifeguards to shout at you in a very rude manner if you arent following all the rules - I was called selfish and disrespectful of other swimmers for not tying my hair back which is just plain rude and unnecessary

Love this place, if only I could get there more often. The pool is great, although Im never convinced the temperature is a high as it says on the blackboard. That said, its and outdoor pool and today we had the added excitement of swimming in the rain, always added fun. Its a great place for a leisurely swim as well as a good place to put in some practice laps if thats your thing too. The staff are super helpful and always very upbeat. Must be something in the water.
