Welcome to Cirencester Open Air Swimming Pool
The swimming pool is located on the edge of Cirencester Park in the heart of the Cotswolds in this historic Roman town (known in those times as 'Corinium').
The pool, originally opened in 1869 is fed by natural spring water, heated to an average temperature of 27°C. Together with a children's paddling pool and sunbathing patio, our pool offers you a wonderful swimming experience in a fantastic location.
Cirencester Open Air Swimming Pool is a UK registered charity, operated and managed entirely by volunteers in their spare time.
