We’re a friendly, welcoming, male only naturist swim that’s on every Thursday just outside Manchester city centre. Started as event hosted by gay men for gay men, we now accept all men, regardless of sexuality. If you’re over 18 and can swim, you’re welcome to join us.
Where:
Arcadia Library & Leisure Centre, Yew Tree Avenue, Manchester, M19 3PH.
Once inside Arcadia, walk straight past reception (which is on the left), and keep walking to the end of the corridor. In front of you, at the end of the corridor, will be the viewing window for Pool 1.
The organisers will be sat at a table on one side of this space, just in front of the viewing window. Here they will meet you, introduce themselves, and take payment.
Don’t pay at the reception at Arcadia.
When:
Arrival Time: 6:45pm – 7:15pm
Swim Time: 7:00pm – 8:30pm
Cost:
Card payment £7.50
Cash payment £10.00
The preferred payment method is by card.  We accept credit cards, debit cards, apple pay and android pay, via contactless or via chip & PIN.
We do accept cash payment, but as we don’t carry change, you will pay more than for a card payment.
Bring a £1 coin or trolley token for a locker.
More Information:
For all the information you’ll need to know about the swim, please refer to the FAQ page on our website.
Occasionally, the swim is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, and usually at short notice. When this happens, we’ll announce it at the top of our website homepage as soon as we know ourselves. Please do check before travelling to the swim.
Our swim is for all men to skinny dip and socialise in a safe space. It’s not there for any type of inappropriate behaviour, and such behaviour will not be tolerated.
