Make a splash in the University's 25-metre six-lane swimming pool as part of your Sport & Exercise membership. The swimming pool is located on the third floor of St. Leonard's Land on Holyrood Road.

We share the pool with the Institute for Sport, Physical Education and Health Sciences ( ISPEHS) and Edinburgh University Sports Union (EUSU) clubs.

The pool is divided up into slow, medium and fast lanes during the member's swim sessions. To participate in member lane swimming you should be able to swim at least 2 lengths of the pool without stopping.
