Ingleton’s open-air 20m swimming pool is an idyllic place to visit and experience the pleasure and enjoyment of swimming in one of the UK’s best outdoor pools. We hope you have an enjoyable, fun and relaxed time with us.

We are opening for the summer season on Friday, 23 May.

Everyone involved with keeping the pool running is a volunteer and we are working through the winter maintenance jobs to ensure we will be able to open for the summer season.

We would welcome anyone who can volunteer to help with this ongoing work, including cleaning and pool maintenance or who could join our committee.

If you’re able to help at the pool, please get in touch at treasurer.ingletonpool@gmail.com – we’d love to hear from you!

Storm Closure Procedures
During summer thunderstorms or extreme weather conditions, we may have to temporarily end a swim session or close the pool to ensure customer safety. Please leave the water immediately when ask to do so.

The swimming pool was originally built by local volunteers included miners from the New Ingleton Colliery in 1933. Take a look at our History page for more information.

Today the pool is managed through a committee consisting members of the local community who give their time on a voluntary basis.

Ingleton Swimming Pool is a registered charity (Ingleton Rural Community Association Charitable Incorporated Organisation No: 1171743) and all monies raised by our activities are put back into the running of the pool to keep this very unique facility open for use to the general public.

From all the committee, staff, volunteers and helpers associated with the pool, we wish you all a great summer and enjoy your time with us.

The pool is located near the centre of the village, in the riverside park down the hill from Ingleton Youth Hostel (LA6 3EG) on Sammy Lane.
