These starting blocks were refitted during the reconstruction of the baths in 2014 and the pump house was retained to help maintain the iconic look and feel.
Another night shot out at Sutro Baths. This one was inspired by a shot by Joe Reifer (which I can't find, right now).
Update: Here's Joe's shot. Thanks Frank!

The baths have 3 seperate pools with this being the mid sized one, often called the Ladies Pool. Built in the same style as its larger counterpart with the cubicles surrounding the pool.

The above image was taken on Sunday 1st June 2014 at Victoria Baths, Manchester.
This was my first time at Victoria Baths and during this visit I decided to shoot exclusively using a very wide angle lens (a 12mm Sigma) and also use my usual HDR style.

We learned how Sutro got the baths going in the beginning using tunnels, catch basins and the ocean tides.

The Suburban Baths were built around the end of the 1st century BC against the city walls north of the Porta Marina. They served as a public bath house to the residents of Pompeii They were originally discovered in 1958 and have since been excavated and restored. Excavation of the Suburban Baths have given historians a glimpse into an aspect of the social and cultural workings of Roman life in Pompeii.

The now derelict Victorian Cliff Baths at Enniscrone, where one could take the cure in the seaweed baths.
The building sits on a wave platform at the north end of the beach and is slowly being disintegrated by the sea.

The baths opened in 1939 just before the start of the second World War. It was located on the Promenade at the junction with Warley Road. It cost £270,000 to build.
The baths was frequently referred to as the Wembley of Swimming. The National Centralised Swimming and Diving Championships were held there from 1953 through the 1950's and 1960's and many events were televised. Swimming Galas for all the local schools were also held in July and November.
The pool was 50 metres in length with one, three, five and ten metre diving stages. In old money I remember the access steps to the pool being located at depths of 3ft 6ins", 5ft, 7ft and 16ft. On the south elevation of the building there was a large sun bathing terrace adjacent to the roof which was the length of the pool. There was also a large cafe at the east end of the seating area.
Sadly the baths were demolished amid much controversy in 1990. The site is now vacant and grassed over.

The Pozar baths are located in Pella, Macedonia, and they are surrounded by a beautiful mountain forest. The water coming down from the waterfall is supposedly therapeutic. Its temperature is a natural steady 37 degrees C, while the outside temperature may be really freezing, during the winter.
I recently helped with the organisation and event photography for a fundraising exhibition at the Arlington Baths Club - a historic Victorian bathing complex (and, as it happens, John's and my actual gym). Featuring a range of work by members of the club - myself included - the exhibition hosted artists of local and international acclaim. You can see the full set of photos from the launch party over on my Facebook page.

When it opened in March of 1896, Sutro Baths was the largest indoor swimming pool in the world. Built by former mayor and wealthy entrepreneur Adolph Sutro, the baths were never a successful endeavor due to the high operating costs of running them. A fire destroyed the complex in 1966.

Built on the original site of the Roman baths and temple to the goddess Sulis(Minerva). The spa sight was redeveloped in the 12th and 17th C. The majority of this building is now Victorian , based on a design by John Wood
Under pressure, the heated water rises to the surface along fissures and faults in the limestone. Hot water at a temperature of 46 °C rises here at the rate of 1,170,000 litres every day.
Mývatn Nature Baths was quite nice. It is smaller than its southern cousin, Blue Lagoon; it did not seem quite as luxurious, it didn’t have Blue Lagoon's silica mud, and it had a lot of dead midges in the water (not surprising), but it was still nice and definitely worth a visit.
My photos from the water itself aren't that great, unfortunately, as the battery on my waterproof camera died within days of my arrival in Iceland and I hadn't packed its charger, so I had to rely on the phone in its waterproof pouch. The outside gloom didn't help, either.
The Roman Baths complex is a site of historical interest in the English city of Bath. The complex is a very well-preserved Roman site of public bathing. The Roman Baths themselves are below the modern street level and has four main features, the Sacred Spring, the Roman Temple, the Roman Bath House and the Museum holding finds from Roman Bath. The buildings above street level date from the 19th century.
This part of the old facility was reserved as a public laundry room. This practice was discontinued in 1870 as several commercial laundries opened in the town.
The old baths were erected in 1851 and closed in 1936

Manchester
In the design and construction of the Baths, built in 1906, a great deal of money was expended, Manchester having at that time one of the world's wealthiest municipal coffers. The façade has multi-coloured brickwork and terracotta decoration, the main interior public spaces are clad in glazed tiles from floor to ceiling and most of the many windows have decorative stained glass.
