Experience the Magic of a Moonlight Swim at Hampton Pool

Enjoy a truly unique swimming experience under the night sky at Hampton Pool. As darkness falls and the surrounding lights are dimmed, the pool glows beautifully from below, creating the perfect setting for a peaceful late-night swim and a spot of stargazing.

Each Moonlight Swim session lasts up to 75 minutes, giving you plenty of time to relax, unwind, and soak up the tranquil atmosphere. Whether you’re seeking a romantic evening, a mindful escape, or simply something different to do, this is an experience not to be missed.

Our Moonlight Swims are very popular and places are limited, so early booking is highly recommended. We also host special Christmas Moonlight Swims – a festive twist on this much loved Hampton Pool tradition.

Keeping you safe

For safety’s sake we have some rules and regulations to abide by for everyone who takes part in any of our swimming activities.

All children under 8 must be accompanied by an adult within arm’s reach of them in the water, at all times. One adult can be responsible for no more than two under-8s.
Weak and non-swimmers must stay in the shallow end and not go past the point indicated on the poolside – and preferably wear buoyancy devices.
If there’s a thunderstorm, we’ll ask you to exit the water until the all-clear is given. Likewise, if the weather brings bad visibility the pool will close until it improves.
We don’t give refunds for lost swimming time and pay-as-you-go swim sessions are non-transferable and non-refundable.
