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, 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.

We are running the swimming pool a little differently this year, in line with Government Covid-19 guidance and with your best interests at heart. 

BOOKING SYSTEM: Please use our new booking system and pay online. It's easy to use, honest. Tickets can be purchased for all our sessions, and you can also buy season tickets. For the time being at least, we will not be accepting cash payments.

SEASON TICKETS: If you’re buying a Season Ticket please purchase this in advance online, via the booking system. To do this, you must go to the ‘Class Pass’ section of the booking system, select the relevant Season Ticket, then also select a specific swim session and then follow the payment steps. Your season tickets will be waiting at the front desk ready for your first swim.

SESSIONS: Numbers are limited to 30 people in the pool per session. General swim sessions are 1 hour, this includes changing time. A single spectator is allowed per admission.

AT THE POOL: Have your booking reference and season ticket to hand when you come to the pool. Masks are to be worn in the pavilion. Please use the sanitising units where provided. Social distancing is to be adhered to at all times when attending the pool - queueing at the entrance, in the pavilion, outside by the pool area and in the pool itself.

CHANGING ROOMS: Our front row of changing rooms will be available to use but, where possible, please arrive at the pool ‘swim ready' to avoid any congestion.

TOILET FACILITIES: The toilets will be open but with limited access.

REFRESHMENTS & CONFECTIONERY: There won't be any beverages and colourful sugary things available at the pool, for the moment. You are welcome to bring along food or hot & cold drinks with you, but no glass please.

PRIVATE HIRE: We're unable to take bookings until current covid restrictions have been lifted.

FUN: Absolutely essential to have a lot of this after such a long break from the pool...

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

Thank you to everyone who has supported the Swimming Pool Lottery over the years. Covid restrictions this past year made it impossible to collect lottery money, so the Trustees decided to replace it with a donation page on Just Giving. Far less sociable but needs must!

This season funds have been raised to resurface the pool surround. This winter's plans are to renovate the toilet blocks and sandblast the swimming pool whilst undertaking essential repair works, so any contributions will be greatly received. You can donate HERE

Many thanks to everyone who has donated money to our community pool so far. Here's to future seasons at Moretonhampstead Community Swimming Pool.
