Wolverhampton Central Baths

Facilities: Pool, Car Parking, Catering, Seating, Other

Facilities: Pool

The pool is 25M, Eight Lane.

There are large windows at the east end.

And from outside:

There are anti-wave lane lines. The deep end is at the west end and the starting is done from there.

The spectator seating is on both sides of the pool with the swimmers. The atmosphere is hot and humid, so take plenty of drink.

Facilities: Car Parking

Parking is free. The normal car park is just about adequate for all the competitors.

If this fills, there is further parking around the nearby park.

Together these handle all competitors and spectators.

Facilities: Catering

The cafeteria is in the reception area at pool level and is partitioned off from the pool by windows and gives a good view of the pool. It is cooler than poolside, but not much. There is a limited selection of drinks, rolls, sandwiches, cakes and the usual prepackaged foods.

Get a seat early at lunchtime as there are only eight.

Facilities: Seating

The seating extends along both sides of the pool (see photos) and is directly accessible to swimmers from the poolside.

Facilities: Other

There are upstairs rooms where one can look down onto the pool. The recording/computer room is upstairs, through the weights room.

On the south side of the building, there is a sheltered bowls green.

There is a swim shop in the foyer:
