Ponds Forge has a Gala on till 6pm.

King Edwards is closed.

And I dont fancy the River Don.

Any suggestions?

Hillsborough Leisure Centre?

Upperthorpe Baths?

Does Hillsborough have lane swimming? I might look a bit conspicuous going down the water slide.

Goodwin sports centre (university), open to the public, but check the timetable. It normally has 2 lanes for swimming and a section for titting about.

Hillsborough Leisure Centre has 2 pools. The lane pool is open 12 -1 and 4-5 on Saturdays. Smaller than Ponds Forge, but at least the changing rooms don't stink of urine and sweat like the ones at Ponds Forge. :gag:

Hillsborough's also cheaper than PF, even without a Slice card.

Please do not try sunny Southport, where I am currently exiled. The walk to the distant sea itself is enough to exhaust all but trained Paratroopers, Royal Marines etc. I lost over two stones in weight in a single 'yomping' to the icy briny, and was aggressively and quite deliberately defacated upon by malevolent Great Black-Backed Gulls the size of Bullocks in the process.
