The central Oasis Sports Centre includes not one but two swimming pools - one indoor and one outdoor, both heated. Often the outdoor pool is popular with recreational swimmers and can be more over-crowded than the indoor pool even during the winter months. Meanwhile the indoor pool is more frequently occupied by dedicated fitness fanatics competing against the clock and studiously doing their lengths. If you have a more relaxed approach to swimming, there's even a sundeck to lie out on above the car park, perhaps not the most scenic of spots but certainly one of the most central. City centre workers are thankful for
this oasis next to the office when the summer temperatures hit
scorching. Thanks to the wonderfully central location of this pool, you
can head out from your swim, feeling cooled and calmed, and arrive bang
in the middle of colourful Covent Garden and enjoy all the shops, restaurants and entertainment on offer in this busy part of town.
