Inverclyde Leisure Gourock Outdoor Pool — Attraction in Scotland

On of the outstanding things I’ve experienced today. I never thought it’s really exists in Uk after all it’s been cold all the seasons here. But outdoor swimming pool really gives me another level of vibes. Good point is it’s not that far from Glasgow. I’ve heard about them in newspaper. So decided to have a visit and it happens today. Specially viewing the area was amazing. After the river anyone can view mountains area and Dunoon. Anybody can get a Caribbean view vibes. Now the main point of their service and facilities. There’s no advanced booking so anyone can go and collect the ticket which is reasonable. Around the pool is a bit dirty, they suppose to keep eyes on that. The biggest disappointing is water! It’s too much salty even after a while you will feel like you were jumping in the salt ocean. Sorry to say that, and too much chemical smell from the water in the same time. Though I don’t have any idea why! But that’s really...

Fabulous outdoor salt water pool. Communal changing areas and showers, which are basic Council standard and not a lot of them. Lockers also are on the low side, and several don't work. (Bring a £1 coin to use them - you get it back when you reopen the locker) Pool is normally lovely and warm but often there is a short cold sprint to the changing area which can be a bit shocking due to Gourocks unpredictable weather. But not today as the weather has been unseasonably warm. Parking is pay and display Mon-Fri, free Sat and Sunday. No refreshments at pool (other than one vending machine - not sure if it works). Some very nice cafes close by. Disabled parking out front and lift down to pool. I find the lifeguards are all lovely, and they always seem to be busy clearing when not on duty. There is also a gym here, but I'm not a member, so I can't...

I had been looking forward to visiting this outdoor pool for a long time and decided to visit from Paisley on my birthday. I found the pool to be much busier than I’d anticipated bearing in mind Covid concerns and restrictions. There also seemed to be an issue with people coming out of the pool and into the changing rooms at the same time as the next session was being led in to said changing rooms. This meant that some people, including myself, found it difficult to get changed to go into the pool. A female member of staff did help me out in this regard, so thank you to her. Overall, I can see the potential in this venue though I would be concerned about covid given the numbers of people who were there. It was just too busy and chaotic for me compared to what I’ve been used to lately. Sorry, I take no pleasure in...
