By walking to centre of town for  visit jobcentre I too decided  little do some sport for keep me at least in good condition. By surfing on internet I found adress and page about Barrhead´s sport centre and  information that they have swimming-pool , it started interest me and I got mood for visit it.

Find it was very easy, because it is situated near main street of Barrhead so you cannt get lost. Big building with huge letters  are clearly saying about  what´s go :-).  Shortly after my visit I  bought monthly ticket and asked for acess card( which makes that you get better price  of ticket). I toke my  bikini and  enjoyed visit of swimming-pool. Of course sport centre doesn´t include only swimming-pool , on first floor  is big  fitness and gym for women  which one side  of wall is made from glass so  while you do some sport you can watch swimmers in pool , which is down , under the gym. Centre too include place for  badminton, squash and small bar for visitors, who too can watch swimming people across glass wall.

But return to swimmingpool. What  I was surprised were too small places for put and lock your clothes, in winter time when  you need have umbrella, some good warm coat and swarm boots it is simply small. Cabines for changing clothes were ok and  I liked too that there were special  cabines for mothers with babies for have  space and  place where can comfortable change baby´s clothes( honestly in city from where I am originally  we hadnt  those special cabins ). 

Pool isn´t huge, is  I  would say  my mid  size and not very deep,  from one end to other is changing from  0,5m to cca. 2,3 m, which isn´t so bad ( swimming-pool in Košice had  one small pool  with 1,5m of deep  for children  and large profesional pool with more than 3 m of deep). But  thing which I most enjoyed was  temperature of water in pool, I dont know exact which degrees of Celsia it had but it was mid warm and I would say arround 20 C( but it is only my opinnion). It was very good, so you didnt feel cold and terrible icy when entered pool , like it happened many times in my city´s pool. I liked visit and swim there, plus  I always met there only few swimmers- most of them were women or  older people, however in afternoon it became be more  noisy , because  started lessons of swimming for children.

All would continue great if one day I wouldn ´t find that my bikini became  be smaller( I little growed more on my weight :-D )  on me  on chest part so I couldn´t more use them for swimming and need now look for new swimsuit , what isn´t so easy here in Barrhead where  it´s looks that swimsuit is here only sezone thing or I will must visist specialised  shop with sport clothes :-D.
