swimming bath

Indoor water facility

A swimming bath is a public indoor pool facility, primarily British usage.

The term often appears in the plural—swimming baths—referring to the building or complex containing one or more pools: The old Victorian swimming baths are being restored.

The word bath here reflects the older sense of a place for immersion rather than private bathing.
