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.

It’s the largest pool in Cambridge and one of the longest outdoor pools in the country.
