From heated pools to the bracing sea, swimming in Portsmouth is open to all. If you’re brave enough to face a dip in the Solent, there are plenty of open water swimmers in the local area who swear by the sea’s restorative powers – and the fact they all look a good decade younger than their years may well attest to it!
If that sounds a little too vigorous, there are plenty of other options for going swimming in Portsmouth. We have traditional swimming pools for those wanting to rack up the lengths, outdoor splash pools that are a haven during summer months, and even a historic lido to enjoy outdoor swimming the way people have done for generations.
