Eston swimming baths

The new pool is designed to replace the current closed Eston Swimming Pool, which would have cost more than £3 million to repair.

It will be an upgrade on the previous pool as it will meet Sport England’s ‘competition standard’ specification, meaning it could host major gala events.

The centre, to be built on the site of the old one if planning permission is granted, would have a 25-metre swimming area with six lanes, a 13m x 7 m learner pool, changing ‘village’ and capacity for 150 spectators. It is expected work will begin Summer 2024 and expected to open to the public in 2026.
