Welcome to Portobello
Seaside views, a top-spec gym, and beautiful Victorian baths – Portobello Swim Centre has been a hallmark of the local community, providing recreation, health and fitness facilities for over 120 years.
The iconic Swim Baths are also home to Edinburgh’s only Turkish Baths, a Steam Room and teaching and family pool. Gym and Fitness Classes are also available to book alongside the fully equipped gym.
We’re also proud to run a successful swim coaching programme. Read more about this here.
