The Sunday Swim — Arlington Baths
Glasgow, Glasgow, Scotland
A weekly clothes-free evening in Glasgow’s historic Arlington Baths, with a 21-metre pool, Turkish suite, saunas and steam room. The pool’s traditional trapeze and travelling rings make this a particularly distinctive place for a naturist swim.
Nudity policy
Nude pool during Sunday Swim
Nudity is expected in the pool and yoga during the booked Sunday event; towels may be worn elsewhere. Ordinary Arlington Baths opening hours are separate.
Underwear is permitted for menstrual or similar needs. Towels are required in the shoe room/cloakroom and on stairs to the upper floor; gym clothing is required in the gym.
Facilities
- Sauna: Saunas are included in the Sunday Swim organiser’s published facilities.
- Steam room: A steam room and Turkish suite are included in the event.
- Pool: The 21-metre swimming pond includes traditional trapeze and travelling rings.
- Showers: The Baths operator confirms full-surround power showers.
A relaxation area offers tea and coffee. Gym use needs an induction and ordinary gym clothing. Paid street parking is nearby, rather than an on-site car park.
Access & visiting
Adults aged 18+ must register online. First-timers may attend if accepted and space permits, with photo ID showing date of birth, proof of address and an induction.

Directions & Parking
Getting there
Use the Arlington Baths entrance at 61 Arlington Street, at the end of the street off Woodlands Road near Charing Cross. St George’s Cross is the nearest subway station and Charing Cross the nearest railway station. Register and secure the correct Sunday event admission before travelling.
Parking
The Baths advertises paid on-street parking and bicycle locking facilities. Check the local parking signs and charges; no dedicated visitor car park is confirmed by the operator.
Finding the naturist area
First-time visitors must be present by 18:00 for ID checks, a health form, induction and tour. Meet the Sunday Swim team before changing, then follow the introduction to the pool and Turkish suite rather than entering as an ordinary public visitor.
Where naturism applies
Clothes-free use applies to the Sunday Swim’s booked spaces and times. Keep a towel on in the shoe room/cloakroom and when travelling upstairs, wear gym clothing in the gym and sit on a towel or sheet. Public streets and ordinary club sessions are outside this policy.
- Bring photo ID showing age, proof of address and your confirmed ticket/registration.
- Use the organiser’s 21:15 finish time rather than the Baths page’s older 21:30 wording.
- Follow the organiser’s conduct rules; unwanted attention, sexual behaviour and discriminatory comments are not permitted.
Access guidance checked 2026-11-11. Follow current signs and any instructions from the venue or land manager.
