Moretonhampstead Swimming Pool, on the edge of Dartmoor, is open from May through to September. Our fabulous 25m outdoor pool is heated by air source heat pumps and solar power, so you can swim comfortably even when the sun is hiding behind the clouds.

The pool offers a grassed social area, hot and cold refreshments, and a timetable that offers a daily general swim for all, lane swimming, aqua fit sessions, swimming lessons, technique coaching, and water polo. Each season we try to introduce new opportunities for improving fitness and confidence in the water for all ages. The pool is also available for hire.

Coronavirus Update: Following much discussion on recent RLSS and Swim England operating guidelines and updates, we have made the decision for Moretonhampstead Community Swimming Pool to remain closed this season. 

This is a huge disappointment for the Trustees, and for our community, but we look forward to welcoming everyone back in May 2021.

We would like to extend our gratitude to everyone who supports the Swimming Pool Lottery. The 2019/20 year finished in May and all prizes have been delivered. With current restrictions due to the Coronavirus pandemic in place, it is not appropriate to collect subscriptions but we will, as and when it is safe to do so. Further details on how you can support us by playing the lottery will be posted in due course.


About us & your pool

circle icon circle icon

We are a community run, open air swimming pool on the eastern edge of Dartmoor, open from May to September. The 25 metre pool is heated using air source heat pumps and solar power, and we aim to keep it at around 27 degrees.

There are changing facilities (including family and disabled facilities) and outdoor showers, as well as a small shop offering hot & cold drinks, and snacks.

The pool is surrounded by grass, picnic benches and trees, as well as a sun terrace, making it a lovely relaxing place to spend an afternoon.

We offer lane swimming sessions, aqua fit, water polo and general swim sessions for all, during which we have plenty of toys, floats and rings for children to play with in the pool. During the summer holidays we run regular swimming lessons with a qualified swim coach for children and adults.

Please see our timetable for opening times and sessions.

The swimming pool is also available for party and club hire, and a booking form is available to download on this website.
