Elswick Community Pool and Gym
Hello and welcome to Elswick Community Pool and Gym. Re-opened in September 2019 by local activists after a four-year closure, we’re an award-winning social enterprise and registered charity powered by passionate volunteers and a professional staff team.
In our lovely warm, uniquely shaped, accessible pool we offer lane and family swimming, aquafit classes, fun inflatables, pool parties and male and female only sessions.

Lastly, we also deliver RLSS lifeguard courses and host clubs for scuba diving, triathlon training and other exciting pursuits, just ask for details.

Set in the grounds of Elswick Park with a fantastic view over the Tyne Valley, we’re open 7 days a week.
Since the pool reopened under community ownership in September 2019 it has always been an ambition to improve the carbon footprint and environmental operations. In addition to this, it would improve our operational costs with reduced bills and more efficient systems.
Testimonials
Amazing pool, amazing staff, the team there have looked after our 3 kids so so well, honestly you couldn’t get a better place for your kids to learn to swim. Support this community enterprise and get involved!!
Fantastic gym. All the necessary cardio and resistance machines.
I just wanted to share with you what a fantastic experience we had on Sunday for our son’s party. All the staff were really helpful and friendly. The place was immaculate and clean. And the party was a huge success with the inflatable. Thank you so much
What a great pool. We went on a social evening with friends. It is set up just right, and it’s extremely clean. There is also a gym above the pool. It has its own private parking spaces too. It is a hidden gem. The main door is set in a nature park. I was very pleasantly surprised. They also sell items such as swimwear, goggles, etc. The staff are absolutely great. Thumbs up 👍
