## Evening Swim Session Before a Night at the Weirdest Hilton Hotel

I’m in North Bristol tonight, staying at the Hilton hotel just off the M5. It’s a strange spot – I put the hotel address into Apple Maps and found myself circling an industrial estate. A quick Google confirmed I was sort of in the right place – just round the corner. Honestly, I think this is the first Hilton I’ve seen that’s located in an industrial estate with a food van parked up in the car park!

After a quick check-in, I headed out for an evening swim at Bradley Stoke Leisure Centre, one of the last few Bristol pools I need to tick off my list.

Bradley Stoke turned out to be a great pool – fairly modern with a pool deck setup that’s a bit different from the usual. I arrived about five minutes before the session’s start, which meant I had to wait by the little circular pool deck “office” before they let us in.

Once the session got underway, I was lucky enough to get a fast lane mostly to myself, despite the overall busy vibe. I managed to log a standard 3.2km swim before heading back to the very weird Hilton.

The photo gallery’s blurry shot is my feeble attempt at capturing the neon-blue illuminated entrance to the hotel – it was a cool glow but my phone photography skills weren’t quite up to the challenge!

Tomorrow morning, I’m planning a 6:30am swim at the Henbury pool just down the road. Got to make the most of it!

### Pool Review

(65 / 100)

Bradley Stoke is a nice pool – modern, with a slightly different feel compared to your typical UK local council pool.
