Settle Area Swimming Pool, a cherished community hub in the picturesque town of Settle, is more than just a place to swim. The pool, established in 1974 as a charity, serves as a safe and clean environment for people of all ages and abilities to enjoy.
Gary Brown, the organiser, points out that the pool offers a variety of swimming sessions for all age groups and skill levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced swimmer looking to enhance your skills, there are lessons and classes available. There are even special sessions for babies and toddlers, along with exercise sessions like aqua aerobics, hydrolates, and referral hydrotherapy.
For those in search of a bit of fun, the pool hosts inflatable sessions featuring the famous 15m OBLITERATOR inflatable during school holidays and on the first Saturday of every term.
Gary is thrilled to announce that in summer 2022 the pool will be reopening with new facilities, offering even more opportunities for the local community to enjoy swimming. Settle Pool strives to be inclusive and welcomes feedback to better cater to everyone's needs.
Booking a session is straightforward; users can pre-book their desired times online. For children's parties or special events, both the pool and fitSpace can be hired together or separately. The pool also invites both competitive and non-competitive clubs to use its facilities.
Gary acknowledges the financial pressures on public swimming pools and notes that the pool, despite facing a recent funding denial, is rallying with the community to find alternative solutions to stay operational.
Visitors to Settle Pool can now benefit from free superfast Wi-Fi, staying connected while enjoying their swim.
The Settle Area Swimming Pool is located at Kendal Road, Giggleswick, Settle, North Yorkshire. To get in touch, call 01729 823626 or email info@settleswimmingpool.co.uk.
