What lovely photos and what a smashing place to live.

There is a really nice outdoor swimming pool in Plymouth that I’ve always wanted to try, have you ever been?

Thank you Maree. Do you mean Tinside pool on the Plymouth seafront? It’s in my third photo above. Not a great pic of the pool, which is just peeping out from the rocks. I’ll see if I can find another. No, I’ve never been in it. The pool was derelict and unusable for many years, and a £3.4 million restoration project got underway in 1998, with the pool eventually re-opening in 2003.

Yes, that’s the one, it looks lovely in photos, I’ve always promised myself a dip in it.

love the piccies, thanks

Ooh, I do hope so! I’m a cold water, outdoor wild swimmer and swim in the sea, rivers etc.

I can’t abide warm swimming pools, like getting in someone else’s bath water!

That pool looks like perfection to me

Oh my gosh! I have friends like you, I don’t know how you do it, brrr :snowflake: :ocean:. I can take freezing water in the summer, but how people go sea swimming in the depths of winter is totally beyond me!!
