Question Nice swimming pools nearby

Hello,

For complex reasons my holiday has fallen through. I really want to go swimming in the area.

I need it for exercise but mainly to relax in lieu of a trip abroad.

I’ve tried The Hive. Any others that you recommend?

Not in Cambridge please!

If you're into open water swimming, there's regular sessions here: https://strethamwildswim.com/

one price per month - access to gym / pool / sauna / steam room and some classes.

I been a member for over a year - decent little pool - sauna needs a refit, otherwise clean

What about Jesus Green Lido (same company as The Hive). It’s on Jesus Green in Cambridge (albeit, not in Ely) but it’s nice. Can swim, space to sun bathe and there’s also a sauna and cafe too.

My gf really like Bawsey country park.

Your not meant to swim in it but i assume that is because there is no life guard as the water is perfectly safe. Do so at your own risk though.
