Originally opened in 1870, Cirencester Open Air Swimming Pool, a 27m main pool and a children's pool (depth 0.5m) is set in a picturesque location on Riverside Walk close to Cirencester Park. The pool water, supplied from a natural spring, is heated to an average temperature of 26°C. There is a large patio area for relaxing with a tuck shop serving hot and cold drinks, snacks and ice creams.  We are located in a pedestrianised area with no car parking facilities on site. However, there are numerous public car parks in the vicinity, taking credit & debit card payments. See our Visitor Information page for more details.
