What is a swimming bath ??

Answer 1

Yes, the above answers are correct.
In the UK, in the past, the swimming pool was often referred to as the swimming baths. You would say "I'm going to the baths" and people would know you were going swimmimng, and not going to wash yourself!
Like a previous answerer said, it probably comes from the Victorian times when many houses didn't have a proper bathroom, and people would go to public baths.

Answer 2

When I was a lad in Manchester, lots of houses did not have baths, so you went once a week to 'the baths', which were council run establishments where you could take a hot bath (in really big old Victorian baths).
There was also a large swimming pool which was called the swimming bath.
True.

Answer 3

Here in Scotland, when young, we referred to a public swimming pool as "The swimming baths".
