Guisborough Swimming Pool

Guisborough Swimming Pool is a busy community pool situated in the centre of the Tees Valley area.

The building was opened in September 1968 by Councillor Armstrong and has undergone regular schemes of renovation and upgrade during the subsequent forty years to ensure that it has continued to be fit for purpose.

The pool was commissioned by Guisborough Urban Council at a cost of £53,000, part funded by North Riding County Council, and was the first public pool in the district. At that time a swim cost 1s 6d for adults, or 6d for children. The pool joined the children's play park, tennis courts and bowling green facilities at the King George V Playing Fields.

Guisborough Swimming Pool is now managed by Tees Valley Leisure Ltd on behalf of Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, who recently invested £250,000 on a comprehensive renovation project to modernise the facilities. This was spent not only on the heating and water treatment systems, but also on a series of popular changes to all of the public areas as well.

The pool itself is covered and heated, stretches 25m and is four lanes wide. It is 0.9m deep at the shallow end and falls to 1.8m in the deep end.

The timetable varies from day to day but accommodates general admittance and adults only swim sessions, fitness classes, school swimming, public swimming lessons for ages 5+, exercise referral, lifesaving and swimming clubs, and is also available for hire on Sunday afternoons.

The pool is home to Guisborough Lifesaving Club, Guisborough Aquafit Group and Guisborough Amateur Swimming Club, all of which are run by volunteers and do very good work within the community.
