Village Farm Swim is a private hire swimming pool in the beautiful Leicestershire countryside. Set on a family farm, you can come and hire our pool for your own private use.
About Our Pool
Our pool is 14m × 6m and is kept at approximately 26-28°C with a ladder entry point at the shallow end with two handrails.
The shallow end is 0.9m deep and at its deepest point it is 1.5m deep. The edges are slightly sloped.
We use chlorine to maintain adequate hygiene levels and this is checked on a daily basis.
The pool is located in a private enclosure with no external views into the pool. The walls are half height blocks topped with opaque perspex up to the roof making it light and airy.
The air temperature will vary based on the weather outside and will feel cooler on cold and cloudy days. On sunny, warm days it heats up well and there are doors you can open to allow for increased ventilation.
There are benches for spectators to sit and watch the action if some don’t fancy getting their feet wet.
The Changing Rooms
We have two changing rooms. Each has a large open changing space with benches, hooks and some non-slip matting on the floor, an open cubicle with an electric shower and a toilet with hand basin.
For larger groups you could split the changing rooms into male and female or use it for different family groups.
There is a lobby with shelves to leave shoes before entering the changing area.

The Eco Friendly Way to Swim
Village Farm Swim is committed to looking after the environment and ensuring the countryside is here to enjoy for generations to come. That is why our pool is heated entirely by renewable energy, produced on the farm, from our own wind turbines and solar panels. With Village Farm Swim you can enjoy swimming in the pool knowing that it hasn’t contributed to your carbon footprint.
Location
You can find us in the rural village of Hungarton on the east side of Leicester. Village Farm Swim is a convenient location for those in Leicester, Melton Mowbray or Rutland.
There is parking space for 3 cars. If more than 3 spaces are needed there is additional parking on the yard.
Please note Village Farm Swim is located on a working farm and so we need access for tractors, lorries and other large machinery so only park in the designated spaces.
The Farm
Village Farm is a delightful dairy farm which is now in its fourth generation of the Dixon family.
