Tonbridge Swimming Pool

Tonbridge Swimming Pool stands beside the River Medway in Tonbridge, Kent. It offers an indoor teaching pool and toddler pool alongside a fitness pool that leads into a heated outdoor pool. The outdoor pool is 20 metres long with four lanes and a man-made beach at one end. A swim-through channel connects it to the indoor area. A large sunbathing terrace surrounds the outdoor pool, giving space for relaxation. The pool opened in 1910 as a heated outdoor lido and expanded in 1996 with the addition of the indoor pool. It is owned and run by Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council. A café serves refreshments while the spa provides a Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, aromatherapy room, sunbeds and heated loungers. The spa pool is filled with warm water for soothing muscles after swimming. Visitors find a calm setting with modern facilities. The indoor teaching pool suits beginners and children, while the toddler pool is shallow and safe. The outdoor pool remains open in suitable weather, allowing swimmers to enjoy fresh air. The café offers light meals and drinks, and the spa area invites relaxation with its heated features. The man-made beach and sunbathing terrace provide places to rest between swims.
