点评:I wasn't expecting a lot given the reviews on here, but I loved this place. The pool is in an enormous atrium the like of which you've never seen. I've never seen a bigger, airier indoor swimming space. The kids pool and the adult pool are linked by a bridge in the most adorable way, so the adult pool has this open corner giving a real sense of freedom as you swim your lanes.
It also has wonderful 1970s touches that reminded me of Space Odyssey 2001 and Silent Running - massive indoor plant beds with some valiant leafy shrubs growing in them, lots of orange, and swing doors with these ineffably sixties round-cornered glass panels.
Overall it looked very clean - there were some discoloured tiles in one corner but seriously? The changing rooms had been recently refurbished, nobody walked in with their shoes on, it was warm... I don't know what these people are going on about.
I'm shocked to see the hate it's getting here and very sorry to see that it is going to be demolished as I've only just discovered it. True the pool did have a bit of a chemical smell but I soon got used to it. the only real reason I can think for demolishing it is the alleged cockroaches and if that's true well what a tribute that is to their well known perseverance.
I grew up swimming in these municipal pools - even their flaws have unique charms. This was perhaps the best example I've ever seen. Loved it.
翻译:鉴于这里的评论,我并没有期待太多,但我喜欢这个地方。游泳池位于一个您从未见过的巨大中庭中。我从未见过更大、更通风的室内游泳空间。儿童泳池和成人泳池以最可爱的方式通过一座桥连接起来,因此成人泳池有一个开放的角落,让您在泳道中游泳时获得真正的自由感。
它也有美妙的 1970 年代风格,让我想起了《太空漫游 2001》和《无声奔跑》——巨大的室内植物床,里面生长着一些勇敢的绿叶灌木,大量的橙色,还有带有难以言喻的六十年代圆角玻璃面板的平开门。
总的来说,它看起来很干净——一个角落里有一些变色的瓷砖,但认真的吗?更衣室最近刚翻新过,没有人穿鞋走进来,很暖和……我不知道这些人在做什么。
我很震惊地看到它在这里受到的仇恨,并且非常遗憾地看到它即将被拆除,因为我才刚刚发现它。确实,游泳池确实有一点化学气味,但我很快就习惯了。我认为拆除它的唯一真正原因是所谓的蟑螂,如果这是真的,那对他们众所周知的毅力表示敬意。
我是在这些市政泳池里游泳长大的——即使它们的缺陷也有独特的魅力。这也许是我见过的最好的例子。爱它。
