Settle Area Swimming Pool

The Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith has praised the support that the people of Settle and district have given to the town's swimming pool, as it prepares to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. 

The mayor visited the pool to see for himself what can be achieved when a community comes together over a long period of time to back a much-needed local facility. 

As well as seeing round the building which was redeveloped in 2021-22, he was told of how the pool was built 50 years ago as a result of decades of fund-raising through carnivials and the recycling of  waste paper.  He was also told how the success of the fund-raising shops - now including a new donation point on the Sowarth Industrial Estate was essential to keep the pool afloat.

When Settle Pool opened in 1975 the cost of a swim on a Saturday was 15p for children and 25p for adults. To mark the 50th anniversary of the opening and as part of the carnival on JUNE 21, the pool is going one better and offering FREE SWIMS all day.

The 45 minute sessions start at 10am, with the final one beginning at 3pm. You can book now through the pool website https://www.settleswimmingpool.co.uk/ but hurry as places are limited. And whether you are enjoying a free swim or not, come along and celebrate at the carnival by the pool. It will be a great day.
