1 / 3Hampton Pool
📍 Hampton, Greater London
Year-round heated outdoor pool with family lanes, a shallow toddler-friendly section, and free parking. Located minutes from Bushy Park for a combined day out.
We searched for good pool recommendations SW London for sunny day yesterday and this came up. Still plenty of places so we went. There are a lot of things you can do on the site, gym/ swim / picnic on the grass (bring a blanket) / bbq (they sell next to the pool)/grab a drink. It was somewhat packed but because we are there for the kid to dip into the water so didn’t mind. They do spare 3 lanes for swimmers, slow / medium / fast. But there is a lane for family so you can play. There js also a shallow pool which a 3YO toddler should be able to stand in the water touching floor.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want reliable year-round outdoor swimming without travelling far from southwest London. Toddlers can stand comfortably in the shallow section, and staff are notably supportive of children with additional needs. Bring 20p coins for the hairdryers and a picnic blanket for the grass area.

“Amazing staff. I come with my little boy, who has some minor special needs and he enjoys a lot. The caffe staff also nice. I can say just one thing: if you try outdoor swimming, chose Hampton Pool, regardless if its raining or snowing. Happy Christmas everyone :)”
