Exeter University Swimming Pool

Adjacent to the conference venue in the Xfi building, there is a pleasant outdoor swimming pool, located at Cornwall House: https://sport.exeter.ac.uk/facilities/swimmingpools/

The opening times may vary from what is shown online, so if you think you might like to use it, it would be worth checking in advance – but we’re mentioning it now so that you can bring a swimming costume and towel if you like the idea of a bracing early morning swim!

To book in a slot, go to this page : https://sportonline.exeter.ac.uk/exeteronlinebookings then on the left hand side choose “Classes”, “Outdoor pool”, then choose “casual swim” or “family swim” and see which time works best for you.
