About the Pool

Jubilee Pool is the largest and most celebrated sea water pool in the UK.

• It is triangular with the longest side 98m long and 56m width in the widest part.
• The main pool depths range from approx. 0.9m to 2.25m depending on the tides.
• The learner pool depth is approx. 0.6m.
• The geothermal pool depth ranges from approx. 0.85m to 1.35m.
• The whole pool contains 5 million litres of sea water.
• Our main and learner pools are not heated, they are usually is 1-2 degrees above sea temperature.
• It has no mechanical filtration and minimal chemical treatment for a natural sea water bathing experience and a robust cleaning regime to keep it clean and safe.
• Our geothermal pool has additional UV filtration in place to maintain the water quality in higher temperatures.
• Our geothermal pool is heated to 30-35 degrees via our own 410m deep geothermal well.
• The geothermal system operates by extracting warm water from the geothermal well taking heat out of that water using heat pumps and distributing it to the pool via a heat exchanger, before re-injecting the cooler water back into the ground.  
• This combined system means that the temperature of the pool can be sustained with a very low carbon footprint. It is the first of its kind in the United Kingdom and will act as a showcase for geothermal, low carbon heat supply.
• Jubilee Pool has a capacity of up to 600* swimmers, depending on lifeguard levels.  The geothermal pool can accommodate up to 50* persons per session.

* These are normal capacity levels.  Current social distancing guidelines mean these levels will be significantly lower in 2020, with a maximum of 150 in the main pool and 15 in the geothermal pool.
