Swimming Pools

North Yorkshire offers a variety of swimming pools, from modern leisure centres to charming outdoor pools set in picturesque locations. Whether you’re looking for a serious swim, family fun, or a unique outdoor experience, the region has something for everyone.

Indoor Swimming Facilities

For those who prefer swimming indoors, leisure centres across North Yorkshire provide excellent facilities. Many feature 25-metre pools, ideal for both fitness swimmers and beginners. Families can enjoy dedicated splash areas designed for children, ensuring a fun and safe environment for little ones learning to swim.

Several centres also offer swimming lessons, aqua aerobics, and dedicated sessions for different age groups, making them accessible to all skill levels. Additionally, some leisure centres have adjoining sports facilities, allowing visitors to combine swimming with other activities like tennis, badminton, or gym workouts.

Outdoor Swimming Experiences

If you’re looking for a unique and refreshing swim, North Yorkshire is home to heated outdoor pools that offer a delightful experience during the warmer months. Set in scenic countryside locations, these pools provide a perfect blend of exercise and relaxation.

The region’s only heated open-air pool offers an ideal spot for those who love swimming under the open sky. These pools are particularly popular in summer, with visitors enjoying the chance to unwind by the water and make the most of picnic areas and surrounding green spaces. Many outdoor pools remain open into early autumn with special “cool pool” sessions, allowing swimmers to enjoy the change in season.
