AccessAble
Everyone deserves to feel confident and supported when visiting us. We're proud to work with AccessAble to provide detailed accessibility information, helping make every journey a little easier.
Swimming
Everyone deserves to enjoy the water, and we're here to make every swim easy, comfortable and enjoyable. From step-free access and accessible changing facilities to wheelchair support, we offer a range of features to help you feel confident from the moment you arrive.
We're also proud to offer Quiet Hours. These are designed to create a calmer, more relaxed environment with reduced pool capacity, giving you extra space to enjoy the water at your own pace.
Quieter Hours Swim Sessions:
Every Wednesday from 11am until 12pm.
Come along and enjoy a welcoming swim that's open to every body. Whether you're looking for a leisurely dip, a gentle way to stay active or simply some time to relax in the water, our friendly team is always on hand to help.
If you have any questions just speak to a member of the team.
Hidden disabilities
We support people with all disabilities — both visible and hidden — and we’re here to make sure you feel comfortable, confident, and included every time you visit.
We’re proud to support the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Scheme. If you or someone you’re visiting with has a hidden or dynamic disability, wearing a sunflower lanyard is a simple way to let our team know you might need a little extra support with no pressure to explain.
To help you feel at ease, we also offer quieter times across our facilities, including quiet hours within our quiet swims.
We also provide accessible changing facilities, available for any member who needs them — including those with hidden or dynamic disabilities.
If you need any additional support during your visit, or have any questions, please speak to a member of our team.
Our Website & third party applications
Our booking and membership system is provided by Legend, a trusted third-party application used to manage bookings and memberships at Hinksey Outdoor Pool. While the application is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, some areas do not yet fully meet accessibility standards. We're working with Legend to improve accessibility and make the experience as inclusive as possible for all users.
