Eyemouth Leisure Centre

County: Berwickshire
Postcode: TD14 5ET
Best for: Families, swimmers who like a view, and rainy coastal days
Average visit time: 1.5 to 2 hours

This centre has one of the best views of any pool in Scotland, looking right out over the sea. It has a main 25-metre pool and a smaller, shallower learner pool which often has toys and goals for kids to play with.

For a bit of extra fun, they frequently run “inflatable sessions” where a large obstacle course is put out on the water. It’s a very modern, clean facility and is a great alternative if the beach at Eyemouth is a bit too windy or wet.

Good to know: There is free parking on-site and a spectator area with vending machines. It’s just a short walk from the harbour, so you can go for fish and chips immediately after your swim.
