Who ever uses marina swimming pools?

[capnsensible]

Ours is unheated but it's ok once you are in.

The ones at Sat Carles and Marmaris are both wonderful places to spend a relaxed afternoon, mind you, they don't need heating!!

I can't think of a UK marina that has got a swimming pool. There are plenty with one close by, but not owned by the marina.

Edit. Possible exception. Tollesbury

Marina does not have a swimming pool but all the yacht clubs near by do.

I swim in the sea as its quite warm but at home I use my own solar heated pool where I can skinny dip any time.

It seems that quite a few ladies that use the one here can only afford the bottom half of a bikini.

I was shocked earlier in the summer after paying almost €50 for a berth for 1 night when my wife and daughter were asked to pay extra to use the pool in Teos Marina in Sığacık - no sign at the entrance to the pool and they wait until you’re comfortable on a sun lounger before approaching for payment. Bad form.

Fond memories of the superb pool at Real Club Nautica in Palma (also their pool-sized G&Ts!).
And in just 8 days time I anticipate being in the pool at the new Gulluk marina near Bodrum.
It's what being retired is meant to be all about

'OK once you are in' is one of those phrases that should earn the user deportation to Siberia or somewhere worse like Australia. It is either cold or it isn't. Madam will swim anywhere, even from the boat, and she's welcome to it. For myself, I'll stay propping up the bar thanks.

Or Real Club Nautico Sevilla: one 50m olympic pool, a second one 25m with deep side for dives, a third one 1-2m deep, the fourth a 20cm deep one for toddlers.

I used to enjoy the trip there up the river but the new lock with no regular small boat times put an end to that for sailing schools.

The on board one is so much better. The grandchildren love the log flume.��

Gillingham (well not sure who owns it, but if you're a berth holder you get a membership card to the on-site leisure facilities).

 

[Blue Sunray]

And Portavadie

Not sure if anyone's been daft enough to take the offer up (the pontoons certainly seem virtually empty) but MDL's 'Platinum Package' includes spa (with pool) membership at Ocean Village

 

[jordanbasset]

Enjoyed the one in Gouvia

 

[Graham_Wright]

We're off to ours next week.. It's called the Med.

 

[shan]

I don't like sharing a pool with other people. Would rather swim in the sea.

Swimming in the Med is just going through the motions.........:ambivalence:

Portavadie has one and an infinity pool (heated) overlooking Loch Fyne...

Oops too late!!!

Two I remember fondly, Denia, (OK not quite in the marina) and Bair Island in Redwood City (San Fran bay). Denia, better ice creams and, ummm, "scenery". Bair Island, quiet. Very good.
