Beautiful pool(s) in a beautiful setting. I've been swimming at Cleveland Pools once or twice a week since soon after it reopened this year and count myself lucky to have such a gem nearby. The staff are lovely and helpful, the pool itself (the main pool - the smaller children's pool is closed for the winter) is always clean and a delight to swim in. There are well-maintained toilets and 12 changing cubicles (each big enough for a family in the summer) around the pool, and the room that used to be the ladies' pool is well worth a look to see the display boards about the pool's history. There are hot and cold showers poolside and of course always a lifeguard on hand. Weekday sessions in the winter are very calm (usually a handful of people per session) but hopefully enough to justify keeping the pool open in future winters! Saturday morning sessions seem to see 20+ swimmers each (the limit is currently 40 per session). I imagine it will be far busier in the summer. The heat pump is due to kick in some time around April, although as it is drawing heat from the river, it's not expected to make the pool spa-level hot (approx. 28 °C is the current expected maximum, I believe). In the winters the pool is unheated and predicted to get below 5 °C in the coldest months. Currently, in early December, the water temperature is about 8 °C. I've seen fellow swimmers in anything from full wetsuits to standard swimming costumes, and staff are always happy to advise on and chat about kit (hats, neoprene gloves and socks, etc.) if needed. Parking can be tricky (there is none available onsite, with the exception of two disabled bays for Blue Badge holders) and there is not much public transport nearby. Sometimes you find some free on street parking or paid parking a little way away, but count on at least a 10 minute walk. If all else fails, the nearby Morrisons offers 3 hours' free parking, but it is a 20 minute walk. Walking from the train or bus station takes around half an hour. All in all, Cleveland Pools is a real pearl and I hope it becomes at least a bit better known and manages to stay open year-round for many more years to come!

Closed from Jan 2024 due to flooding of plant room. When will it reopen? Who knows? The trustees - despite having allegedly received £8m of public money - are extraordinarily uncommunicative.. In the 4 months it was open (Sept-Dec 2023) it is was good for very cold water swimming. EDIT: rumours (unfortunately the only source of information that seems to exist) suggest that the trustees are at 'lawyers at dawn' with the builders/architects, and the baths won't reopen in 2024. EDIT2: … or in 2025, but who knows? Possibly the Trustees but they don’t talk to us mortals.
