“I visited for the first time today for the free Tower Hamlets women’s swimming. I was hesitate over the previous reviews but I had a great experience. The pool was quiet (6ish), the showers hot, lockers available for a 20p coin (you don’t get it back) and very easy to go straight in and out. Lots of kids in the kids area which is great to see it being used.”
