The Pool is now Open for 2019
We acquired some substantial funding in late 2018 to start
the work on saving the Pool tank. This task is almost
complete so for 2019 we have a new pool tank. a new
surround a new compound fence and some added security.
Sadly what we could not afford for this year was to replace
the rather tatty changing rooms, loos and domestic offices.
But we are still fund raising and begging! We hope that by
this time next year the changing rooms, loos and offices
will have been totally renewed or replaced.
Please keep coming and swimming.
New for 2019 are: a Credit/Debit card machine to allow us
to take payments so no running to the bank for cash!!
A hoist to enable disabled users to enter (and exit!) the Pool
safely (although we lack the ancillary items at the moment).
In the event of any sort of closure for whatever reason it will
be posted on the Pool’s FaceBook page. If you are coming a
long way, or the weather looks stormy please check the page.

An Amazing Experience
Our timetable is a little different from what you may be used to so please take a little time to check when our sessions are. We do get very busy on very hot days and for safety reasons the pool capacity per session is limited to 80. We have never reached capacity when it’s raining, which we can’t understand as swimming in the rain is truly wonderful, a delight to the senses; although the pool with be cleared/closed if there is a risk of thunder. Whether it’s a moonlight swim or our popular Aquathlon series, there’s a lot going on for everyone at the pool.
Please take a look at our ‘friends’ page to see if there is anything you can do to help the pool.
Helmsley Open Air Swimming Pool Refurbishment
The refurbishment of Helmsley Pool to celebrate its 50 Birthday in 2019 has been partially funded by the European Agricultural for Rural Development LEADER Project. It has entailed re-rendering the Pool tank, re-tiling the Pool, fencing the Pool compound and re-turfing the grassed areas. It has also contributed to the plant and filtration units.
