Can you swim in the Roman baths?
Can I swim at the Roman Baths? Unfortunately because of the quality of the water it would not be safe to swim here. The nearby Thermae Bath Spa uses the same water which is treated to make it safe for bathing. While the Roman Baths museum is very interesting, unless you are very into Roman history and or are an absolutely avid photographer, a visit is not absolutely necessary!When at the baths, Romans would visit the different rooms in a specific order. They would start at the Apodyterium, or dressing room, where they would undress and leave their clothing, which would be watched over by a servant or slave.
