About the Pool

The Mallaig and District Swimming Pool is situated in a spectacular location high above the coast, looking out across the Sound of Sleat towards the Isle of Skye and the Small Isles.

Open for public swimming seven days a week, it provides a modern facility for residents and visitors alike - the perfect place to spend a couple of hours during that rare rainy day!

The pool itself is 20 x 10 metres and is a non-profit-making resource operated for the benefit of the community by a committee of local volunteers and staffed by permanent, trained personnel. This was made possible by the generosity of the local community and others including Sir Cameron Mackintosh, the Lochaber District Council, Lochaber Limited and Highland Regional Council.

Facilities available include a Fitness Suite, a Toning Table, swimming tuition and aerobics classes and a Games Room, which is also available for Children's Parties (perhaps combined with a swimming session).

Open 361days a year, the building has wheelchair access and WC as well as baby-changing facilities.

A Mobility Hoist is available for entering the water, available during four specific sessions a week.

We are currently fund-raising for the refurbishment of our Spa Bath and hold regular events to promote this - donations are very welcome.
