Swim at Paulton's warm 31°C community pool offering family sessions, swimming lessons for all ages, and private party hire since 1975.

Paulton Swimming Pool is a beloved community facility located in the village of Paulton near Bristol, serving families and swimmers since 1975. This registered charity operates a heated 19-meter pool maintained at a perfect 31°C, making it an ideal learning environment for swimmers of all ages and abilities. The venue offers diverse sessions tailored to different needs, including Adult & Baby lessons from newborns, toddler classes for ages 2–3, pre-school programs, structured Swim England stage lessons, and specialized adult fitness classes like Aqua Aerobics. Public swim sessions are available throughout the week at affordable prices, with family fun swimming on Sundays featuring floats and toys. The pool also welcomes birthday parties and private hire bookings. Following a significant 2011 redevelopment funded by Sport England's Olympic Legacy program, the facility now features solar and thermal panels plus energy-efficient LED lighting. Qualified instructors provide small-class tuition, and the warm water and intimate setting make it particularly welcoming for young children and nervous swimmers. With consistently excellent reviews praising friendly staff, cleanliness, and value for money, Paulton Pool remains a treasured community resource for families seeking quality swimming instruction and recreational water activities.

We've tried another local swimming class and by comparison, Paulton Pool was absolutely brilliant. The staff were all wonderful and they built up my child's confidence and we both spent the whole lesson smiling!

Great local pool. I like that you have to remove your shoes before walking around. You can bring indoor flipflops. The family time is fun and the aquafit class was great just the change room could be bigger. Yes I would recommend it.

Brilliant session for the toddler I look after, this morning....a good sized pool, that's clean with excellent staff. Parking can be a squeeze when it's busy.....there is no private changing area or family changing but if you want a clean, warm pool with a very calm feel and great teachers, this is the place to go.

Nice little pool, we were there on a Sunday morning and there were lots of toys and floats for the boys to play with. Looks like you can hire by the hour with or without a large inflatable. Prices were reasonable and we didn't have any problems parking.
