My favourite pools (so far!)

My favourite pools (so far!)

There are just so many amazing pools out there, and this list is only going to get longer! I'll probably have to break it into sub-pages eventually. Each one here made the cut either because the facilities are great or I just had an awesome time swimming there. Oh, and I've got a thing for historic pools with cool backstories, so expect a few of those to pop up too!
