    Can anyone provide advice on places to swim in Barnsley? (preferably of the organised, pool-based variety before I get some flood-related responses!)

    I would very much appreciate the qualities of quietness, cleanliness and a lack of screaming brats if such a place exists.

    Thanks in advance

    wombwell Baths........... bugger, cant think of any more.

    Might be that one

    Private pools are always the best.

    Cheers for the help!

    I'll look for a place that may or may not be in Broomhill and may or may not take private bookings!

    To be fair I'm looking for a swim tonight so public is probably the best way forward - it actually hadn't occurred to me that you could book private pools. Might have to brave the metrodome.

    Anyone know if its school holidays at the moment?
