Are you the owner of Highley Outdoor Swimming Pool?
Highley Outdoor Swimming Pool, located at The Severn Centre in the charming town of Highley, Shropshire, offers a delightful open-air heated swimming experience. The pool is a spacious 25m long with four lanes, perfect for both serious swimmers and those seeking leisurely aquatic activities. Families are particularly well-catered for, with a range of fun-filled aqua activities and a poolside lawn area to relax or play in.
The pool includes dedicated adult sessions as well as regular activities such as Aquafit and swimming lessons. It caters to individuals who enjoy closing up some serious lengths to boost their fitness, or simply those seeking a place to unwind and relax. Whether you're looking for sport, leisure, or a day of fun with friends, Highley Outdoor Swimming Pool has something for everyone.
Visitors will find several amenities available for use. Showers, lockers (requiring 1 coins), and changing cubicles are provided for convenience. The pool also offers accessible changing and shower facilities to accommodate all visitors. For those in need of refreshments, an onsite caf, vending machines, and a poolside Snack Shack are available.
Additionally, an outdoor picnic area is provided for guests to enjoy their own packed meals, except barbecues, which are not permitted at the centre. Free parking, inclusive of accessible parking spaces, ensures a smooth arrival and departure experience for all visitors.
The pool timetable is easily accessible online, allowing guests to select swim sessions that suit their preferences. Swim For Fitness offers competent swimmers the opportunity to continuously swim in a lane, using their own training accessories to enhance their session. Social Swimming sessions encourage a relaxed swim at a gentler pace, with no structured swimming lanes, making it ideal for those looking to build their water confidence, technique, or fitness. Family Time sessions aim to bring families together for a fun-filled swimming experience, with floats and toys provided for everyone's enjoyment.
For a more structured workout, Aqua Aerobics classes provide a 45-minute water workout using the natural resistance of the water. This low-impact activity is suitable for all ages and abilities, allowing participants to tone and strengthen their bodies while grooving to music. Quiet Time sessions are specifically designed to create a peaceful and calm environment. Sensory distractions are reduced, making the pool experience enjoyable for individuals with autism, dementia, or someone simply seeking a quieter swim.
Highley Outdoor Swimming Pool also offers a swim school, known as Severn Swim School, which runs 30-minute lessons from June to the end of August. These lessons cater to various levels of swimmers and are conducted every Monday from 4pm. For those looking to host private events or parties, the pool can be hired for such occasions by contacting the centre directly.
Guests with Halo memberships can enjoy the outdoor pool sessions for a one-hour duration at no additional cost. For those without memberships, the prices vary, and further details can be obtained by contacting The Severn Centre directly.
Highley Outdoor Swimming Pool looks forward to welcoming guests back when it reopens in Spring 2024, and invites everyone to take the plunge and enjoy their open-air heated swimming experience.
