Important Notice

Royal Commonwealth Pool - East District Open & Scottish Grand Prix Swim Meet – Fri 31 May (2pm) to Sun 2 June

Please note that due to the above event, restrictions to our normal programme will be in place and parking at the venue will be very limited. For further details please see our events page.

Sitting in the shadow of the spectacular Arthur's Seat on Dalkeith Road, the 'Commie Pool' is so much more than Edinburgh's only 50 metre pool.

We're proud to offer a wide range of modern health and fitness activities for all the family in our fantastically refurbished venue. The City of Edinburgh Council's £37m redevelopment has revitalised this light and airy 1960s building and given it a brand new lease of life. If you haven't been to visit, we'd love to show you around.
