That’s all folks! Swimming season 2025 is over for Ashburton Swimming Pool. We can’t thank everyone involved enough. The Lifeguards have been amazing this year, the Volunteers have made a huge impact on what we have been able to achieve. Cat, our manager contributed a phenomenal amount to our community and the Trustees have worked exceptionally hard behind the scenes to keep the pool open and safe. This year has without doubt seen its challenges, so we have all been grateful for the positive messages and great feedback we get from our visitors. Thank you all.

*Inclusive Session Today* At 1pm today, we have our inclusive general swim. Suitable for home educating families, people with SEND needs or social anxieties. The session is kept smaller than our general swims and lasts 90 minutes, so there is plenty of time to get used to the surroundings before swimming and to get changed. Booking is advised, but you can just turn up and pay on the door.
