Loud, Crowded, Grease-Stained, and Gloriously Drunk: Where the World Eats After Hours
"No matter where you decide to party, every night here comes to the same, delicious end—and that end has a scent. And no, I don't mean dagga (weed). I mean smoke, and spice, which we follow to any of the chatty men busy behind their nondescript street carts, braaing up piping-hot boerewors for people craving a late-night bite beneath the elegantly latticed balconies of a once-glorious stretch of Victorian buildings on Long Street."
Great indoor heated swimming pool in the middle of the city. Friendly staff at entrance. Multiple lifeguards on duty. Showers are too small and need attention but everything else neat and clean. Great swimming experience for kids and adults.

Nice pool. Can be crowded. Also they close the pool 15 minutes early and I was told that when it closed. Would have been nice to have atleast been given time to do a cool down. The swimming club were also still busy swimming long after I left so I'm not sure why I had to get out right then

39 rand per person (£1.75p)
Staff very polite and helpful. It's a bit dated but proper 25m and no one there so I went hard - smart watch motivating me...
Normally in the UK I'm paying £7/9and it's like a tsunami it's so overcrowded.

What a pleasant morning enjoying the pristine facilities at the Long Street Baths. Entry fee R35 per adult. Pool is heated with sufficient lifeguards on duty should it get really busy. Very refreshing experience. Clean bathrooms with hot showers . Highly recommended!

Great! However, in the owner's list of do's and dont's there's no mentioning of swimming caps. People shead hair; it's awful to swim and get 'entangled' in the odd floating hair.
Please make it compulsory for everyone to wear caps.

Had a lovely experience here. The staff were incredibly helpful in guiding me around, and the lifeguards were attentive and reassuring. A hot shower after the swim was just what I needed. My only wish is that the pool had been a bit cleaner—there was some green stuff floating around. It wasn’t enough to stop me from swimming, but it did take away from the overall experience. Ladies only time between 10am and 2pm on Tuesday is a genius idea.🙌

Beautiful and clean swimming pool with a very nice team !
Recently restaured/repainted etc...
BUT
the only bad point are the shower cabins (women side) , I ask myself why they didn't repair them also 🤔
(Peeled walls, mold on the walls, really ...)

Had a youth group there on Saturday . The staff and lifesavers made us all feel welcome and were very very helpful. In picture attached you can see how they gave some of the youth a quick swimming lesson.
Thank you once again .
