From Monday 18 September 2023 we will be introducing a new policy regarding footwear in our York Sport Village Swimming Changing Room.

This new policy introduces the following rules.

We are asking our customers to take off or change their outdoor footwear before entering our York Sport Village Swimming Changing Room facilities, including our swimming changing room shower cubicles and public changing areas.

Use of indoor footwear (multi-shoe covers and flip flops) or bare feet will only be permitted in these areas from Monday 18 September 2023. York Sport reception desk also offers purchase options for indoor footwear.

The outdoor footwear can be put away either in the shoe storage compartment located in our facility lockers, where a one pound coin or locker token is required.

To coincide with this new policy introduction, we have introduced brand new benches next to our reception area, where shoes can also be stored during your visit.

To find out more about these options please speak to a member of reception when you next visit.

Yes. Both of our pools are open to the public. There are specific times where access is restricted, which are clearly highlighted on the timetable.
