If you’ve been struggling to find useful information about hotels with swimming pools of a certain size in Bournemouth, then you’ve come to the right place.

Below is a list of the current hotels with pools in the central Bournemouth area with additional detail not currently available online. There is a particular focus on length of pool as a good indicator for lap swimming.

Quick Guide: A typical swim lane is around 2.5m wide, so a 5m pool is roughly two lanes wide. A typical pool length for lane swimming is 25m so anything from 18m upwards in length is pretty good for a hotel. Between 12m and 16m is okay.
