SWIMMING POOLS!!

Hey, can anyone recommend a good swimming pool to go to with babies. Preferably in the west lothian area but seeing as a lot of pools have closed down I would travel further. It’s to take my 4 month old so would like one that’s no heaving and also not too cold☺️

Fauldhouse pool is supposed to be warm and cheap but I haven’t tried it yet. Bathgate and Whitburn were both too cold for my wee one when he was 3 months and were both on the expensive side. I’ve also heard good things about the Mariner Centre in Falkirk but again I haven’t been yet.

Fauldhouse pool is the warmest one around but it's just a standard pool (no baby pool) can walk with baby in shallow end though. Shotts is also good as is mariner centre in Falkirk. So many pools closed around west Lothian recently such a shame x

@Danni thanks, I’ll have a little look

@Nicola I know, it’s a shame cause there were a couple good ones :/ Thanks very much though, will have a little look at those ones you mentioned

Pettycur bay is good. Very warm. It is in Burntisland but that’s the one we use and it’s the warmest one I know x

I took my wee girl to Swim Sprouts at Donaldson's Pool in Linlithgow and it was fab as the pool is heated warmer. The classes were great too xxx

The time capsule is good as it has a nice baby area with slides and is warm

@Row I actually emailed them about the classes but they emailed back prices and it was just under £2000 per term for one 30 minute class per week! Was shocked at the price 😅😅

@Samaira oh my gosh!! That seems extortionate! I think it was about 120 per term (I want to say 8 or 10 classes) when we did it which seemed very similar to other local classes. Xxx

@Row I was actually speaking to someone in a sensory class I go to and she said she emailed ‘water sprouts’ that does classes at Donaldson’s pool and it was round about the price you have mentioned. The email I got was signed swim sprouts, don’t know if it’s the same as it said it was at Donaldson’s pool too. But the woman mentioned it may have been a private instructor I accidentally emailed as she said prices are around that for a private instructor 🤯🤯 xx
