We are having great weather so far this summer. Temperatures are warm, sun is shinning and who wouldn't take a dip? Apparently, open air swimming pools are not common in the UK so I bring a list of covered swimming pools in Bristol and I will leave open air swimming pools for another time. If you happen to know about any other covered swimming pool within the area that I haven't mentioned, please, leave a comment below and I will try to keep the post updated. Thanks!Otium Health & Leisure Centrel (BS1 2EL): It has a heated indoor swimming pool, which is probably more for relaxing purposes rather than sport activity, as well as many other beauty and health facilities. Check prices on the WEBSITE:
