Venues
Above is one of my favourite swimming spots on the Isle of Mull! Locally I like to coach and swim in the venues below:
-
There is a first aid trained safety observer present during all swimming sessions.
-
The lakes are spring fed so the water is incredibly clean and safe for swimmers.
-
All the staff are super friendly and couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful.
-
The site has a huge, free secure car park, lockers, changing facilities that include hot showers; and two eating places: one I like to call the posh restaurant and the other, ‘the bacon butty shed’ (I prefer the informal one as that’s where everyone gathers on the grass and there’s a good vibe).
-
The music from the wakeboarding crew gives the site a fun, relaxed feel.
-
They have a full range of rental wetsuits available for hire priced at £5 (these can be hired from reception on arrival).
-
50m pool.

Clean facilities that include shower and change facilities.

One of the few remaining examples of the lidos that were built across the country in the 1920s and 30s.
