Dive into the Royal Commonwealth Pool, Edinburgh's big indoor leisure centre with a 50m lap pool. Swim lengths, join a family session or try the obstacle course before warming up in the gym or studios.
Full description
The Royal Commonwealth Pool is a big municipal leisure centre with three indoor pools, a 50m lap pool among them, a gym and three fitness studios. Families praise the clean changing rooms, which include a swimsuit spin dryer, and the relaxed family swim sessions suitable for small children.
Visitors also mention an obstacle-course session that kept children entertained long enough that they asked to return. Opening hours are long, starting at 5:30 AM, so it works equally for early lap swimmers and relaxed family outings.
