Overview
Moseley Road Baths is a heritage Grade 2* listed swimming baths at the centre of Balsall Heath life. For the last 2 years, it has been run by a community charity which has reinvigorated the pool, doubled the number of sessions and availability, and substantially increased swimmer numbers
We offer swimming sessions for the disabled, the elderly, mental health users and will shortly extend to this to a dementia friendly hour. Changing rooms are adjacent to the pool, facilitating straightforward access (with hoist whenever required) and the water is said to be warmer than most Birmingham pools! Carers are very welcome either to swim or to relax out of the pool. And our customers can follow up their swimming with chat and conversation in our tea room.
So come along, enjoy the health benefits of swimming in a unique setting and the company of fellow swimmers. Keep swimming!
