Since its opening in 1974, our pool has been managed by a volunteer committee of local people. Their aim to provide a high quality facility which the residents of Settle and surrounding areas can enjoy as well as visitors to the area, as such, water quality and cleanliness of the building is important to us.
We aim to offer a high quality pool with a wide range of activities for whatever age or ability. Swimming is the best exercise you can take part in with no impact injury we try to offer a variety of activities to help you keep active and healthy.
There is free car parking in front of the pool with two disabled parking spaces, and we have ramps with handrails at the entrance and push button automatic doors. We have changing/shower facilities with access straight onto the poolside. For people who have difficulty with steps, we have a further set of gently sloping steps and a pool hoist.
A swimming costume and towel is all you need! Goggles and nose clips are available to buy, if needed, from the kiosk as well as swim nappies for small children. We also stock swimming costumes/shorts for adults and children. Hair driers, arm bands, baby rings, floats, toys are all here available for you to use free of charge.
