Stonehaven Heated Open Air Pool

About Stonehaven Heated Open Air Pool

Opened in 1934, Stonehaven Heated Open Air Pool offers fun activities for all ages!

The pool is the UK's only art deco Olympic sized sea water lido. The water is heated and is open from late May to early September and whilst the pool is the main attraction, there are also sheltered sun terraces with seats and loungers, a paddling pool with a dolphin water-splash for children under 8, and an on-site café serving snacks and drinks. The pool is filled with clean sea water maintained at temperatures that are often warmer than swimming in the Mediterranean!

During the high season, moonlight swims are available, letting visitors swim beneath the stars to disco music.

Advance booking is recommended for these via the Live Life Aberdeenshire Sports Bookings website or app, up to nine days in advance.  But there is no booking required at other times in the summer.

The pool also has started Doggie Swims after the human summer season ends and Cold Water Swimming during the winter for the heath conscious hardy folk.  Booking for both is available near the time, see https://www.facebook.com/StonehavenHeatedOpenAirPool for details.
