This unique pool uses local spring water, which is heated to an average of 27°C (80°F).

Set in the beautiful Cotswold town of Cirencester, the pool itself is on the edge of Cirencester Park and in addition to a 28 metre main pool offers a children's paddling pool, a tuck shop and hot showers in both Ladies and Gents changing rooms.

Open from May to September each year the pool offers facilities for families, parents and babies and serious swimmers.

Whether it's for a lovely day out, an aerobic swim or a long sunbathe punctuated with the occasional dip, Cirencester Open-air Pool is an opportunity not to be missed.
