Swimming Pools - Which one is the best?

whats the best swimming pool in sheffield?

Well I wouldn't say Ponds Forge, thats for sure. I prefer Eckington. Its fairly quiet and its also quite cheap too! (A family ticket is just £5.35)

What do you mean by "best"? Ponds Forge certainly has Sheffield's largest swimming pool, but it can get very busy.

Ponds Forge: Good long pool, as well as "funpool"

Eckington: Quite good, i used to go there as a nipper, cheap too

Dronsfield: Apprently good, and cheap

Sheaf Valley was the best I have ever saw in Sheffield. What a shame they demolished it.

We are coming over to Sheffield, UK in July for a two month holiday. As my husband and I swim laps several times a week and want to continue our exercise regime. can you tell me the best pool for us to attend ? Also how long is a session and what is the cost.

I go to Heeley. It's old-fashioned with the old changing-rooms around the side of the pool, but there's something about the place that I like.

The Goodwin Centre on Manchester Road near the Childrens

has just been refurbished and is really clean

they also have Brilliant power showers in he changing rooms, and a suana and a steam room. mmmmmmm

i end up doing 30 mins swimming and 40 mins in the steam and suana

Yeah ... I used to go to the heeley pool on my way to work in the mornings ... really like that place ... it was always hot and streamy there (i don't mean female lifeguards) ... very quaint and charming old building ... very nice.

I now go to ponds forge ... isn't quite the same !!! ... but the pool is nice and big and deep ... and seems to have about 10% the chlorine content of the heeley pool.

I go to Eckington.... its quieter than ponds forge and half the price!
