The pool is spring-fed and the water is unheated. The swimming pool is 46 metres long by 23 metres wide. The original structure was built in 1960 making it the oldest freshwater outdoor public swimming bath in the UK that is still open.

It is a good idea to wear a wetsuit! They have cold water swimming advice on their website.
