1. The Visitor ★★☆☆☆

   Visited these baths for a dip during my stay at Moseley. It's in urgent need of TLC. I felt like I was back in time, Victorian era to be precise. The cleanliness was non existent as it was icky and sticky. No showers before nor after which added to the 3rd world feel. The private cubicles were the best thing about it. I wouldn't say shut this place down, just burn it to the ground and from the watery ashes, build a better swimming bath.

   The only grade II listed pool in the whole West Midlands? This is a fantastic place to go back in time and celebrate one of the most historic buildings and classic architecture in Birmingham. Just less than 5-7 minutes drive from central Birmingham on a good traffic day, this pool is located on Alcester Road with good bus links or a Uber ride away. The pool has changing rooms, toilets and showers all around it allowing you to be comfortable and staying in the same space. The staff are super friendly and amazing. This week as I have been told is the last week before the big refurb and the Moseley Baths will be closed until Spring 2025. Definitely a must visit if you are visiting Birmingham and I am most definitely looking forward to visit Birmingham once it is open again.

   Used to love this place, despite lack of renovation over the decades I’ve always made the journey as I love the baths. Since reopening I made my way here twice for women’s and Childrens swim only to be told there will be a male life guard. The first time I was understanding as they had just reopened and advised this is something they should clearly state on their website. Today, I finished work early and made a 40 minute commute to the baths, I tried calling in advance but the phone line was not working. I arrived at 3.30 to again be told that there is a male life guard yet again. You are based in the heart of Moseley a 60-70% Muslim population meaning when advertising a women only swim or be it women and children having a male life guard defeats the purpose. So gutted but I will not be returning here. Wasted journey.

   I used to go to MRB quite regularly - usually the BeActive sessions and the early morning swims. The timetable gets changed so often its quite difficult to be able to swim here on a regular basis. It is great that it caters for all and is inclusive of all groups but it really limits the times of when you can actually lane swim unless you are free during working hours. Would be great to get early morning/evening swims back which are inclusive to all.

   Fabulous Edwardian swimming pool run by local friends group. Please go for a swim to support them. There's character here you don't find at leisure centres.
