Take a dip!

Chagford Swimming Pool was opened in 1933 and is fed by the mill leat, a small stream diverted from the river Teign. It is well reported that the pool was dug out because local children swimming in the river would too often disturb local fishermen further downstream.

 Much has changed since the 1930s however and Chagford Swimming Pool remains the largest, freshwater, outdoor pool in the West Country. In 2016 season, air-source heat pumps, UV filtration and PV panels were installed which also provide hot showers.

With the newly renovated toddler pool, refreshments facilities, wooden decking, a grassy sunbathing area and idyllic setting on the banks of the River Teign, the pool has become Chagford’s biggest attraction.

Chagford Pool opened on June 7th for pre-booked adult lengths, some junior lengths, bubble club lane sessions and private bookings/parties. We hope to open up for some more normal sessions later in the season if Covid-19 guidelines allow. We’d love to welcome you - to book online go to www.chagfordpool.co.uk and follow us on social media to keep up to date with the pool. Facebook: @ChagfordPool Twitter: @chagfordpool
