Facilities: Pool

Leamington is a colourful spa town in the heart of England.

The pool is situated in a pleasant park on the bank of the river Leam.

Facilities: Car Parking

Parking is free. The normal car park is not adequate for all the competitors.

When this fills, there is further parking about 40 yards away near the golf course which is shared with golfers and others. Together these handle all competitors and spectators.

Facilities: Catering

The cafeteria is in the entrance and is partitioned off from the pool by doors. It is cooler than poolside. There is a selection of cooked food, drinks, rolls, sandwiches, cakes and the usual prepackaged foods. Get a seat early as they will all be taken at lunchtime.

Facilities: Seating

The seating extends along the north side and is accessible to swimmers by a long walk round the west end of the building.
