Welcome

Moretonhampstead Swimming Pool, on the edge of Dartmoor, is open from May through to September and is run by volunteers. 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, a tuck shop serving hot & cold drinks, and a timetable that offers a daily general swim for all along with lane swimming, aqua fit sessions, swimming lessons, swim club and technique coaching. The pool is also available for hire.

The 2023 Season

circle icon

We open on Saturday 27th May 2023 and close the doors for another season on Sunday 10th September 2023.

BOOKING SYSTEM: With rising running costs, and no end of cost increases in sight, we have had to review our admission prices and season ticket system. This season we are re-introducing ticket block purchase rather than season tickets. A block of 30 tickets reduces admission price by 50p for each swim. We will continue to use the booking system and encourage you to pay online as this helps us keep organised and running efficiently. 

AT THE POOL: Have your booking reference to hand when you come to the pool. Sanitising units will remain available for use. Please respect your fellow attendees with regards to personal space and everyone feeling secure and happy during their visit to the pool.

REFRESHMENTS: Hot and cold beverages will be available at General Swim sessions, along with snacks (the pickled onion Space Raiders are back in stock), confectionery and our 25p lucky dip sweet bags. 

Looking forward to welcoming old friends and new to Moreton Pool this season!

Moreton Pool Fundraising

circle icon

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Swimming Pool Lottery over the years. Covid restrictions made it impossible to collect lottery money, so the Trustees decided to replace it with a donation page on Just Giving. 

Any contributions towards the upkeep of Moretonhampstead Community Swimming Pool will be greatly received. Swimming pools are facing an uncertain future with increased running and maintenance costs, ours included. You can donate HERE.
