Bangor Swimming Pool

Rain hammering the caravan windows? This proper public pool in Bangor could be your saviour. Located just a short drive from Beaumaris, it's the kind of no-nonsense municipal facility that gets the job done when the weather turns. The pool itself is nothing fancy - think functional tiles and that familiar chlorine smell - but it serves families staying at nearby sites like Kingsbridge Caravan Park or Plas Coch Holiday Park when outdoor activities are off the cards. Kids will burn off energy for a good hour or two, though teenagers might find it a bit basic. The changing rooms are clean enough, and there's usually lane swimming alongside family sessions. What makes it worthwhile is the reliability - while Anglesey's beaches are glorious on sunny days, this place keeps operating regardless of what's happening outside. Worth checking opening times before you trek over from Taihirion Farm Campsite or the other local parks, as municipal pools can have unpredictable schedules during school holidays. It's not going to be the highlight of your Welsh adventure, but sometimes a warm swim beats another round of indoor games in a cramped touring caravan.
