The Harrogate Hydro Pool The pool opened in April 1999. It is a purpose built 25-metre, 8 lane competition pool with Anti-Turbulence ropes, OMEGA Ares21 Electronic Timing with 8 lane scoreboard & Swim Down Pool. We have backup IT systems for the electronic results service and also aim to publish results to this web site after each meet.
The Pool is about a mile from the noted shopping facilities of Harrogate, where pre-pay ticket parking is available for the shops. Parking at the Hydro is available, but may fill up closer to meet start time. Please do not park on the grass at the Hydro - cars simply sink, and the tractor to pull you out is stunningly expensive (and doesn't take credit cards).
'Safe Sport Away' guidelines - The Hydro takes safety very seriously, and Harrogate is a pleasant town. However, if you are bringing a group to the Hydro and need information to help with your routine risk assessment, then email webmaster@swimharrogate.org and we shall be delighted to help.
