Beautifully preserved Victorian swimming pool in Glasgow offering baby swimming classes, sauna, cold plunge, swinging beam apparatus, and gym facilities. Membership club with family access.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
A strong choice for families with babies and young children who want a swimming class venue with genuine character - the Victorian setting is far removed from a standard leisure centre. The combination of baby classes, spectator bar, and well-maintained pool makes it practical for parents too.

“The historic swimming pool offers a charming blend of vintage ambience and modern leisure, with its beautifully preserved architecture and inviting waters. However, the experience is somewhat let down by the quality of the food served. While the menu is varied, the dishes lack the freshness and flavour you'd hope for in such a unique setting. With a bit more attention to the quality of the cuisine, this spot could truly become a standout destination for both swimming and dining.”

“The architectural designs here are worth seeing, stunning. The swinging beams over the pool are great for strength, skill and entertainment value. Lovely pool, clean, great facilities. Decent showers. Original cool dip plunge bath”

“Excellent place! Good chat in the sauna, cold plunge is freezing and the gym is nice and quiet. But watch out for the cockroaches!👀”
