swimming baths
Indoor aquatic facility
Swimming baths is a British term for a public indoor swimming pool, or the building that houses it: The old swimming baths closed down years ago.
The word reflects an era when such facilities served as much for bathing as for recreation.
Now somewhat old-fashioned, largely replaced by swimming pool or leisure centre.
