Swim
At Chester City Baths we’re passionate about swimming. And we’re proud to be able to offer you a unique swimming experience.
Every swim at our Baths is a celebration of our heritage and longevity. But we have a very modern understanding of wellbeing.
We know that, as well as delivering a host of benefits for your body, swimming is good for the mind too. And our 25-yard pool space, which is airy and flooded with natural light, promotes a sense of health and happiness for everyone who visits.
We provide a high-quality, nurturing environment for all types of swimmer – from school-children and competitive swim club members to leisure swimmers, people who use the pool to meet up with friends or those who simply want to keep fit.
Why not come and enjoy a complimentary free swim and experience this special place for yourself?
Adult leisure swim
We have a range of weekly adult swim sessions for you to choose from. Whatever time of day you prefer, we have a session to suit – from Monday to Saturday, in the early morning, daytime and evening.
All of our adult leisure sessions are for general lane swimming in our Atlantic pool. The 25-yard rectangular pool is split into three spacious lanes; slow, medium and fast, allowing everyone to swim at their own pace and level of ability.
Never hectic, these pool sessions provide the time and calm to enjoy a leisurely swim or a more strenuous fitness/training routine.

Staying afloat takes a little help
Chester City Baths is a charity run by volunteers with paid lifeguards and a pool manager.
