The Wendover Swimming Pool is open for extra sessions over the Easter Holidays! We’re additionally open from 2:30pm to 4:30pm Sunday to Friday, and 11am to 1pm on Saturdays.

Please note that on Monday the 13th of April, we will open from 2pm until 4pm in the afternoon.

Over the Easter Weekend, our Early Birds times are a little different too.

All our lifeguards and first aid staff are volunteers. Please be sure to check our website for any last minute changes.

Over the holidays, we will not operate our Tuesday and Thursday morning 9am sessions. All other sessions operate as normal. Check our normal opening times page for details.

Be sure to check our admissions policy – All children under six, and all non-swimmers (regardless of age) must be accompanied in the water by a responsible adult. All children under thirteen must be accompanied by a responsible adult, who must remain at the pool (but not necessarily in the water).

You do not need to be a member to swim at the pool, but we’d love you to join!

There will be little or no parking in the vicinity of the pool on Sunday 22 March due to a training course with 220 delegates being held at the John Colet School from 9am until 4pm. Please walk if at all possible when attending the pool on 22 March

We’re really disappointed to have to confirm that we’ve been unable to source a volunteer lifeguard for our 9am session on Thursday the 19th of March 2015 – and that we therefore will not be able to open.

We’re pleased to announce our special half term holiday opening times!

We’ll be open Monday to Friday 2.30pm to 4.30pm, as well as the usual weekend times. We won’t be open for our 9am sessions, or our normal afters-school splash on Friday, but all our other sessions remain the same.

For full details, check our opening times.

We’re really sorry, but we can’t find a volunteer lifeguard to cover this afternoon’s (Monday 5th January 2015) family splash session – so we won’t be able to open the pool.

Special opening times this Christmas!

The Wendover Swimming Pool will be open at special times this Christmas and New Year 2014/2015 – starting with an end-of-term splash from 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Friday the 19th of December – and continuing through the holidays. Check our opening times for more details.

We’re pleased to announce our extra sessions for the half term holidays!

We’ll be open additionally from 2.30pm to 4.30pm Monday the 27th to Friday the 31st of October (Except Thursday, when we need to close at 4.00pm). We won’t be open for the 9.00am to 10.30am sessions on Tuesday or Thursday that week.

Check our opening times for more details, and for our admissions policy. Did you know we have free WiFi at the pool? Catch up on your work (or check your status…) whilst your children swim.

We’ll be open for all our other sessions – including evenings, weekends and early mornings throughout the week.

Sounds good?

See you at the pool!

We’re another step along the way!
Wendover Swimming CIO (the orgainisation picking up from where the WSA leaves off) has entered into a management with the John Colet School to manage the pool. The management agreement is a temporary arrangement until we are able to take on a proper lease.

We’re now responsible for the day-to-day running of the pool, and we’ll start to take all of the income – including membership and entry fees – but also all the fees from the various swim schools that we’ve introduced. At the same time though, we’ll also be taking on all of the costs – including chemicals, gas, electricity and water.

We’ve not increased our prices for several years, and we’ve extended membership for free for almost a year as we’ve been working to take over the pool. We’ve worked very hard to keep price rises to a minimum – and to make it fair and reasonable to all – but they will need to increase a little.

We’re increasing the cost of membership – but we’re keeping the cost of swimming for members exactly the same. Additionally, we’re changing the rules slightly so that you don’t need to be a member to swim (but it will cost you a little more). Check out all our new prices on our website.

As an added bonus, we’re extending existing memberships for free again! – all the way to the 31st of May! If you’re already a member you do not need to renew until then. If you’re not a member, you can join now.

A new organisation, Wendover Swimming, has been registered by the Charity Commission as an incorporated charity (a CIO). Wendover Swimming CIO has been formed to take over the Wendover Pool and run it on a not for profit basis for the benefit of the community.

An outline agreement has been reached with the John Colet School by which Wendover Swimming will take a lease of the pool and surrounding ground for 30 years, beginning in early 2014.

On 9th December the members of the Wendover Swimming Association resolved to support the outline agreement between Wendover Swimming CIO and the John Colet School and agreed that WSA will transfer its assets and records to Wendover Swimming and then close down.
