Training in Southville

River, harbour and a 1931 pool.

Bristol South Swimming Pool on Dean Lane has a 30 m pool in a Grade II listed building that has served the area since 1931, and Everyone Active runs it for the council. On the harbour, All-Aboard Watersports teaches paddleboarding, kayaking, sailing and rowing, and City of Bristol Rowing Club, Bristol Canoe Club and Bristol Gig Club all take to the water. Back on land there's Bristol Pilates Studio, LUP Bristol for personal training, Sarah Langford Fitness, and taekwon-do, krav maga and Wutan tai chi.

Gaol Ferry Bridge carries a busy stream of cyclists and walkers across the river, and Greville Smyth Park, the biggest local park, is popular for sport. A gig or a rowing crew needs several of you, so Southville is a natural place to go looking for people to train with.
