An 8 lane 25m Pool for Doncaster: 

A Splash Worth Making 

Doncaster has officially become a city—a milestone that reflects our growth, ambition, and community pride. But while we celebrate this achievement, one area is holding us back: our swimming facilities.

From children learning to swim to elite athletes training for greatness, thousands of Doncaster residents are being limited by outdated and overcrowded pools. It’s time to give our city the world-class swimming complex it needs and deserves—a facility that matches the aspirations of our people.

Why a New Pool Matters

A new, state-of-the-art 8 lane 25m pool isn’t just about swimming—it’s about transforming lives and creating opportunities for everyone in our city:

•   For Families & Schools: Right now, many children in Doncaster are missing out on vital swimming lessons due to limited access. A new pool would mean more lessons, safer kids, and better physical education options for schools.

•   For Health & Wellbeing: Swimming is one of the best ways to stay fit, active, and mentally healthy. It’s inclusive, accessible, and low-impact—perfect for people of all ages and abilities. Imagine the impact of a facility designed to support everyone in our community.

•  For Doncaster’s Future: A modern pool will inspire pride and bring our city together. It’s a chance to create something that benefits generations to come while showcasing Doncaster as a city of opportunity and ambition.

Supporting Doncaster’s Swimming Champions

Doncaster has a proud history of producing talented swimmers, including Olympians—but their potential is being held back:

•  Relentless Schedules: With limited access to local facilities, competitive swimmers are training at 5 AM, four times a week, before heading to school for a full day.

•  No Home for Competitions: Our clubs are forced to hire venues in other cities for galas and events. We’re missing out on opportunities to bring competitions—and their economic benefits—back to Doncaster.

•  Building Local Pride: A cutting-edge pool would be a beacon for talent, attracting swimmers from across the region and giving Doncaster’s athletes the home advantage they deserve.

Our Vision: A World-Class Facility by 2026

We’re campaigning for a swimming complex that will be a game-changer for Doncaster. Here’s what we’re working toward:

✔ An 8n lane 25m Competition Pool meeting national standards for competitive events.

✔ A Learner Pool dedicated to schools, families, and beginners.

✔ Accessibility for All, with facilities designed for swimmers of every age and ability.

✔ Modern Amenities, including comfortable changing rooms and spectator seating that we can be proud of.

This isn’t just a pool—it’s an investment in Doncaster’s future.

Why We Need This Now

Doncaster’s swimming clubs are already stretched to their limits:

•   Clubs Are Overcrowded: Waiting lists are long, and many eager swimmers are being turned away.

•   Demand Is Growing: As our population increases, we need a facility that can meet the needs of our thriving city.

Let’s ensure Doncaster has the infrastructure to support its residents and athletes for years to come.
