📍 Marchmont, Scotland
A 25-yard Victorian pool praised by parents for outstanding family changing facilities. Separate sauna, gym, and aqua fitness classes on-site. Toddler-friendly with pram access and parking.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with babies and toddlers. The family changing setup is genuinely exceptional — parents who've felt daunted by pool visits with infants consistently report this is the venue that made them want to return. Older children enjoy the 25-yard pool. Check timetables in advance, as class bookings fill lanes throughout the day and evening.

“We had a great experience going for a Family Swim here with our seven month old. The changing facilities are the best we’ve ever seen. Going swimming with a baby was daunting initially, but after visiting this pool once I’m excited to visit again soon. The family change setup makes it super easy and the staff are helpful and friendly.”

“Hadn't been to these baths in 35 years. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The complex has had a make over recently and it's lovely inside but still maintains it's original charm. £10 for a swim and sauna.”

Overview
Warrender Swim Centre retains original Victorian architecture alongside modern renovations. The 25-yard pool runs family swim sessions alongside aqua fitness and lane swimming. Family changing rooms are consistently rated the best in Edinburgh by parents visiting with babies. Sauna and gym are also available. Busy class schedules mean general pool access can be tighter during peak hours — check the timetable before heading in.
