Broomhill Open Air Swimming Pool has been been central to summer for many generations of Ipswichians. It has a special appeal for children who are able to spend all day in the fresh air in attractive surroundings, in a safe, healthy environment. The Pool building is one of the most attractive Lido style open air pools in Britain and has an unrivalled position on the edge of Broomhill Park.

Broomhill Pool is the only Olympic sized open air pool in Suffolk, Norfolk and Essex and offers the only 5 metre diving board in the county. In addition to its appeal to recreational swimmers, many local groups have used Broomhill Pool for a wide range of water sports including Live Saving Training, Canoing and even Dinghy Sailing. At 5 metres deep the pool offers Sub-Aqua divers the only "deep water pit" in Suffolk.

We must ensure that this wonderful pool is saved from demolition, for today's and future generations.
