 Book Your Swims Here


When you book online for a cold water session, you can arrive at any time up to 30 mins before closing to start you swim.

Please be advised that booking confirmation emails might go to your spam folder and will also just give the start time of the session. 

If you don’t see it immediately, please check there.

Thank you to everyone who helped or donated to the Jumble sale on Saturday 15 October.

The money raised will go towards some of the work at the pool over the winter.

Everyone involved with keeping the pool running is a volunteer and we worked through the winter maintenance jobs to ensure we would 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 management.ingletonpool@gmail.com – we’d love to hear from you!


For the 2025 season, we would prefer payment by card at the pool. We can take cash payment if necessary.

Pre-book your swim: We accept walk ups, but they are subject to availability, so to avoid disappointment and guarantee a swim, please book ahead with our online booking system.

To check when the pool is open, please look at the Opening Times.

Can’t see any available sessions? If you can’t see a particular session to book on the system, it means that it is already sold out. There won’t be any further spaces for walk ups at the pool.

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.
