Welcome to Lonsdale Swimming Pool
We are a community swimming pool based in Mickleover, Derby, providing value for money swimming activities for all members of the public!
The pool is used for Children’s and Adult Swimming Lessons, local clubs and schools, as well as being open for public swimming sessions. Adult swims, Aqua Fit and Family Fun sessions can be booked online here for Lonsdale Pool.
Learning to swim is an invaluable life skill for everyone – regardless of age, physical ability, culture or family circumstances.
A lot of people learn to swim because it is a great family and holiday activity and simply the fact that it could save your life – or your child’s life. Swimming is also an excellent form of low-impact exercise for all ages as it uses all the body muscles whilst supporting joints – improving fitness and burning calories all in one go.
Developing swimming skills also opens the doors to a wide range of recreational and competitive sport – not least swimming itself.
Local charity, Lonsdale Swimming and Sport Trust, has been dedicated to ‘Keep Derby Swimming’ since 2006 and operate the long-established and much loved Lonsdale pool in Mickleover and Gayton pool in Littleover.
Both community swimming pools offer a wide range of value for money sessions for hundreds of children, adults and families a week.
Staffed by qualified and highly experienced teachers and lifeguards, Lonsdale offers value for money swimming activities on a ‘pay as you go’ basis.
