About this site
The Old Swimming Pool is a shore dive at Dunbar on the east coast, known for its intricate gullies.
The site can only be reached within two hours either side of high tide.
Access is by steps that climb a cliff face, a long and tiring climb that is not for the faint hearted. Parking is at the old rock hotel, with no payment required.
