Real Talk
What to actually expect.
Booking + session times
Swimming runs in timed sessions you usually need to book ahead, and it gets busy in summer, check the schedule before you turn up with a towel.
It's a swim, not just a sit
The pool charges an entry fee; lounging on the terrace and the café are the free-ish bit. Bring kit if you actually want to get in.
No booking needed. Just walk in.
