Royal Commonwealth Pool

The Royal Commonwealth Pool can be found on the corner of Holyrood Park Road and Dalkeith Road, a mile (1.5 km) south of the centre of Edinburgh. Built for the 1970 Commonwealth Games, the pool is a public facility owned by the City of Edinburgh Council. As well as the 50m-long main pool which holds competitions of international status, there is a separate diving pool, a teaching pool, a set of water flumes, sauna and health-club facilities. The pool provided a convenient venue again when the Commonwealth Games returned to Edinburgh in 1986, located next to the Athletes' Village in the University of Edinburgh's Pollock Halls complex.
