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.
Winter – When the temperature drops we will have to close the pool for winter, so from 1st Oct bookings will open 1 week at a time.
About Our Pool
Our family pool has provided joy and delight for many years and now we are offering you a chance to hire it for yourself and enjoy it too. Adapted over the years it is a covered outdoor pool so even if it’s raining you can still enjoy the pool. It is heated to approximately 28°C and is large for a private pool at 14m x 6m.
The shallow end is 0.9m deep and at its deepest point it is 1.5m deep. The edges are slightly sloped. To access there is a ladder at the shallow end with two handrails.
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 powering our air source heater. 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, Market Harborough 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.
While you’re here why not try our milk and milkshakes from the Village Farm Dairy Shop.
If you enjoy spending time on the farm why not stay with us at Village Farm Getaway and relax in the quiet of the countryside while enjoying all the hustle and bustle of farm life.
