Epworth Swimming Pool was opened in June 1996 and provides a valuable service to the local community - This 20m x 8m pool provides

Aqua Natal, 50 plus, Adults only, and Parents and Toddler classes. Swimming Lessons have proved to be hugely popular with over 250 children taking lessons every week and over 15,000 lessons sold in the twelve years since the pool has been open. Swimming Lessons are not just for children, Adults are catered for as well, so it's never too late to learn. There is a selection of exercise classes available from beginners through to advanced, including Aqua Fit, Swim Fit and Aqua Tone, all taught by qualified and enthusiastic instructors.

An estimated population of 20,000 people has been identified living within a 10 mile radius of the pool and with approximately 60,000 visits per year it is an extremely well used facility, we even have an ex Olympic swimmer using the facility!

Epworth has a proud heritage as the birthplace of Charles Wesley the founder of the Methodist movement and this attracts around 10,000 visitors a year including a healthy number of American tourists.

Epworth Swimming Pool also runs an extremely successful swimming club which is called 'South Axholme Sharks Swimming Club'. It boasts a membership of over 170 members who compete in the Barnsley Lincs Senior and Lincs Junior leagues, and many swimmers compete in open meets around the country. Several of the swimmers have achieved ASA County qualifying times, which proves the level of coaching available.
