Welcome to Helmsley Open Air Swimming Pool

The Pool is now closed this year. If you came and swam, thank you.

The website is now down for updating and revamping and will be

back when we have completed these tasks over this winter.

For contact before the Pool reopens please use this link.

We still need some help in the life saving department, see below.

RLSS UK PXB Board

This Floating Board helps injured swimmers to be removed from the Pool safely. It costs over £1K!

We need one. Could you make a donation to help with its purchase?

Thank you.

First time here tonight! Warm, friendly welcome. Really lovely pool, so clean and a joy to watch the sky as you swim. And a great cup of tea afterwards. Really enjoyed ourselves, can’t wait to come back!

Had an absolutely brilliant night at the apogee moon swim. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming and the pool is lovely. Well worth a little drive out. Can’t wait for the next one!

We enjoyed a wonderful time at this lovely pool today ,friendly attentive lifeguards, changing rooms and toilets inside, showers outside, drinks and ice-lollies etc to purchase.A fabulous pool set against the backdrop of grassy hills and sheep..just perfect we shall return.

Fabulous afternoon at the pool today! The sun was shining, the water was warm and there was a great holiday atmosphere. Hopefully many more fun family afternoons here this summer.
