Dalry Swim Centre: Opinions

5/5 (52 Opinions)
Sam Stratford 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic! The pool is larger than Warrender Baths, and kept incredibly hot. Hotter, and bigger than Virgin gym's pool. Although it *may* be busier. The gym has been upgraded, so now there's a barbell, as well as dumbells, everything required for strength building. There's also the running machines, steppers?, and rowers, to build up a sweat. Oh and the showers, Oh Lord thankyou for the showers. There's a sauna and cakes are on the corner for Bridget Jones.

Ross Corrigan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Went there to try and get fit so swam super hard for like half an hour then tried to catch my breath by walking around the pool. The leisure attendant asked if I was awright which was sweet but let me know I wasn't as fit as I used to be. Then I couldn't get back into my locker and she helped me get it sorted. Helped me from feeling like an eejit even though I was being a complete eejit.

Eugeen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went at 0700 for a swim. It was nice and quiet and the people also swimming were so friendly, it was a really nice experience. The staff were very helpful. You know when sometimes you are going to do a new thing and you know there are going to be regulars here so you’re a bit nervous? Well I was a bit nervous, however I was made to feel so at ease. Almost feel like a regular already! A sauna and a nice cold shower too.

Fantastic experience: Newly refurbished. An excellent job. Lovely old pool with lots of glass in the roof to let the light in. Changing facilities clean and surprisingly roomy. Staff are very friendly and seem proud of the facilities themselves. Sauna a great place to strike up a conversation. I used to be a David Lloyd member but this is a much better price and much more inclusive.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. I go in the morning and it's really quiet! You've got access to changing rooms on both floors and private showers on the balcony. Lockers are electronic and you can lock them with a 4-digit pin. There also are family changing rooms as well as accessible changing facilities on the first floor. Staff is friendly and welcoming, I definitly recommend! :)

Fantastic experience: After I signed up, I realised the gym wouldn't quite serve my needs as a main place to work out. Tony was great and organised a full refund which I received in only a few days. Will definitely occasionally visit to use the pool which was lovely!

Fantastic experience: I loved the architecture, size and feel of this pool. A bit like warrender but larger, though perhaps a tad less personal. A real gen hidden amongst the streets of Dalry.

Steven Campbell 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Clean, warm and bright. Cheery, helpful staff and fellow swimmers, it's always good to get a bit of banter! Public transport is excellent which makes up for the usual chronic parking problems in this area. A few minutes' walk from Haymarket for tram, train or bus

iciclette 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Beautiful Victorian pool sympathetically restored. It is very clean, staff insist on outdoor shoes being covered, soap is provided in the showers and theres enough staff to keep it clean. Puts Manchester 's pools to shame. .

Rohan Crickmar 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: A genuinely beautiful ol Victorian swimming baths. Very well maintained and clean. Perfect for someone intereted in putting together a number of laps. Evenings are mainly given over to swim groups after 8pm, so best advised to get in before then. Also has a great new wood sauna on the upstairs balcony.
