Go wild with the kids, zoom down the flume or feel great by swimming a good few lengths. They're all heated and sparkly clean. So come on in, the water's lovely!
Many guests tell us going to the pool is near the top of the list for holiday fun... it's why at the heart of each Devon Holiday Park is a great indoor pool protected from the elements for any weather fun. Add in slides, toddler pools and bubble beds and you've really got the lot. In Summer dip take in the brilliant outdoor pools too, with multi-lane slides, flumes and water play areas. Indoors or out they're all heated and totally admission free.
Swim safe
Book your swimming slots
Pools are open so you can have a splashing time every day on your holiday. We've put the social distancing measures in place including session bathing with simple online booking each day. It's one of the new things now in place so you can splash about safely.
How to bookHooray... all in the pool!
You'll need your booking reference number shown on your holiday confirmation to log-in to make your pool bookings from 1 to 12 hours before you'd like to swim. Then just come along at your booked time wearing your Woolacombe Bay Holiday Parks wristband, you'll find measures in place like:
- Reduced number of people allowed in our swimming pools at any one time
- Booked sessions to enable social distancing and to track guests on each slot
- No changing rooms and shower facilities are open, please come 'pool ready'
- Plenty of room to remove and store clothing, shoes and towels poolside
- Spectator areas and sunbathing spaces are closed so more people can swim
- Lifeguard cover to keep you safe in and around the pool whenever they're open
- No swim toys or inflatables to ensure everyone has enough space in the water
- Hand sanitiser on arrival and additional poolside cleaning between sessions
Indoor pools
Heated covered indoor pools are open whatever the weather all season long, found on each Park and open from 8am to 9pm daily. Castaways interactive pirate play pool at Woolacombe Bay is the stuff of legends but they're all true, and the biggest indoor pool complex with separate toddler pool at Twitchen House where you can race along two tall twisting slides at breakneck speed.
Outdoor pools
Heated open air outdoor pools at most Parks mean you can swim in the sun from 10am to 6pm in Summer. Golden Coast has a big beach style pool, four lane slide and bubble bed. Then there's the hilarious SplashPad water play area at Twitchen House. Plus sun bathing areas and most outdoor pools have a whacky water flume to zoom down. Open 8 May - 12 Sept 2021, weather permitting.
