Sheffield Swim

Since Chapeltown Pool has closed a new South Yorkshire swim has been arranged (the first swim having been on 22nd May) at King Edward's Swimming Pool, Sheffield. It is an unusual pool, being 30m long with two shallow ends, somewhat deeper in the middle but still easy to stand. Our impression is that the pool is warmer than Chapeltown.

The swim is at:-

King Edward's Swimming Pool,
Clarkhouse Road
Sheffield
S10 2LB

For details of the pool please see their website ( http://kesp.co.uk/ )

There is plenty of street parking, free on Sundays. Outside of school hours we can also park for free in the school staff car park adjacent ( see Google Map below ). There are two entrances: Glossop Road is normally open but there is also an entrance on Newbould Lane.

For those arriving by public transport the pool is very close to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital and is served by the 120 bus.

If you are hungry/thirsty there is a Wetherspoon's ( The Francis Newton ) virtually opposite.

For location see Google Maps - the pool is near the centre:-

The swims will normally take place on the third Sunday of the month, from 1530 to 1715 ( all persons to leave by 1725 ). Cost will be £5 ( BN/INF, cards to be shown ) or £7 otherwise. The rise in price reflects the increased cost of pool hire. The pool does not have lockers and swimmers are advised to bring a bag for their clothes/possessions and to take them poolside as the secure cloakroom will not  be staffed.

Further swims in Sheffield are on October 23rd, November 20th, December 18th. Swims in 2017 will be announced later..
