Swim in the UK's only art deco Olympic-sized heated sea water lido, open seasonally with fun sessions for all ages and moonlight swims.

Stonehaven Heated Open Air Swimming Pool is a unique leisure destination housed in a historic art deco building that opened in 1934. Located in Queen Elizabeth Park, this is the UK's only heated Olympic-sized sea water lido, offering a distinctive swimming experience with water temperatures typically warmer than the Mediterranean. The venue caters to families with diverse aquatic activities throughout the summer season (late May to early September). Young children can enjoy the dedicated paddling pool, while older swimmers can participate in fun sessions, lane swimming, and Aqua Zumba classes. Special experiences include moonlight swims where visitors can swim beneath the stars to disco music, and live entertainment performances at weekends add to the vibrant atmosphere. Facilities include a recently added water chute (opened in 2021), the on-site Splash Cafe for refreshments, and sheltered sun terraces providing comfortable relaxation areas. Free parking is available, and the heated water ensures comfortable swimming conditions throughout the season. Whether seeking traditional lap swimming, family fun activities, or unique evening experiences, the pool offers something for everyone.
