Stromness Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre

The pool is 25 metres long and 9 metres wide, 0.9 metres deep for half its length, dropping to 2.4 metres at the deep end. The centre was extensively refurbished in 2000, adding a new reception, changing rooms, steam room, sauna, spa, and a larger fitness room.
