Did a dead kid not get left in there overnight or something? :lol:

I'm not showing off but i'm going for my parents swimming pool. Used to have some awesome pool parties as a teen which got much better when i was 16-18yrs, girls skinny dipping for the win.

Apart from that i would have to say one of the disney ones in florida.

In the UK i've never been to a great pool. I know that there are some but i don't have any that are local, in Northampton they are shite. There used to be a pretty good one at Kettering Leisure Village (KLV) but that closed down a few years ago. Had a couple of flumes, wave pool and indoor/outdoor rapid. The best nearest one is probably Bedford, went there about 15 years ago. From memory it's pretty decent.

Also on Center Parcs, i haven't been to one since i was about 8 or something but i remember the rapids there being awesome.

Aqualandia is pretty good in Benidorm where my rents have a villa. Go there quite a lot.

There was (is?) a pool in Kettering that had a wave machine that when thought was immense when I was younger. The pool in the water themed hotel at Alton Towers is pretty cool. The pools in America piss in the pools over here though. At least the ones I've been to.

Came to say this :lol:


Where is this? Is this in Scotland by any chance?

Because that looks like a swimming place I've been to before. Funnily enough, I never learned to actually swim :fp:

My family used to have one when we lived in the UAE but I don't see the point of having one in the UK.

Kil was explaining that story on Mumble to me.

They thought the pool was empty so set the pool covering off but there was a kid who jumped back in after his mother told him to get out and they didn't notice.

How the strawberry floating mother didn't notice I have no idea, stupid bitch.

I thought that looked like the Time Capsule. :lol:
God it's been so long since I've been. I still remember playing the original Mortal Kombat arcade machine in there.

Personally it's hard to choose favourites.

Indoor wise it's probably Centre Parcs but I've not really been to many indoor pools. Outdoors it would have to be Typhoon Lagoon in Florida. Its one of the few things I really envy hot countries for. Outdoor swim parks are fantastic.
