Overall review:
This Swimming Pool is formally known to be the West Bengal Sports Council Swimming Pool rather than the popularly known Subhas Sarobor Swimming Pool as it is the only state owned swimming pool in kolkata located at the prominent location of beliaghata and thus is the responsible and mostly chosen to host the state or national level professional aquatic competitions and the tournaments that the state swimming board BASA (Bengal Armature Swimming Association) use to organize.
This is not among the so called clubs in the domain of swimming in kolkata as it is mainly used by the amateur swimmers and special novice coaching or swimming classes are in general something which is not available here. Because, it is only open to the people who are already swimmers and can prove to be able to swim at the time of admission at Subhas Sarobor Swimming Pool. But one thing is surely something very important is the quality of the water. Unlike the other average swimming pools in Kolkata, this swimming pool is the one which would provide you well maintained water for swimming. Again, another thing should also to be mentioned in this regard that the diving pool attached is not having the same type or quality of the water as this smaller dedicated pool for diving purpose is connected to the main lake, which is basically known to be subhash sarobor lake or kadapara lake. So one may find some doubt about the water of the Swimming Pool justly .But being somewhat isolated from the main pool, the smaller pool would hardly have any effect unless and until you are too keen to have some diving practice in that smaller swimming pool.
For further information, it is worthy to note that the pool is very recently has undergone some renovations and after the newly done modifications, the swimming pool has become more nice and comforting in terms of the services and facilities. Much like its quality of water and standard facility, as comparison to the other comparable clubs or aquatic institutions, the admission charge at Subhas Sarobor Swimming Pool is much less, being a government owned pool provided the constraints are fulfilled.
In addition to that, about this Subhas Sarobor Swimming Pool, one may note that this one is also sometimes be utilized by the swimmers of the SAI (Sports Authority of India) as for now even SAI is lacking a pool of same standard. And due to the occurrence of frequent practice sessions by those swimmers, one may be finding it a bit difficult to get adjusted about the time to use the pool but the pool authority would come in help in this particular case.
In anyway, the fact is undeniable that the ambiance of the Subhas Sarobor Swimming Pool is something great as it is surrounded by the greenery and the main lake being situated just adjacent to the pool and thus you would definitely feel a pleasant swimming experience here. But to say about the cons rather the negative points, you might encounter the untidy surroundings of the lake a bit not likable but to assure you, its totally something particularly issue of the lake and not of the swimming pool, just as you can presume well, the pool get affected a bit because of being situated adjacent to the lake.
