A historic but forlorn stretch of Brighton seafront is set for a facelift thanks to a new 50-metre outdoor swimming pool, which is due to open in spring 2022.
Brighton and Hove city council gave the green light for the heated Olympic-size pool on Wednesday. It will be built on Madeira Drive, in Kemptown, not far from the historic Volk’s Electric Railway and a few minutes’ walk from Brighton’s Palace Pier.
For the past two summers, this stretch of pebble beach has been the site of a fitness-hub pop-up, operated by Sea Lanes, with an indoor endless-pool training facility – that allows swimming against an adjustable current – a beach cafe and bar, and converted horse-box saunas. Brighton-based adventure tour operator SwimTrek has been running guided open-water swims from the beach and the operator will base its headquarters at the new beachfront pool site.

The idea comes after the Conservatives claimed the council could go bust over spendthrift “ideological” policies. Leading Green councillor Tom Druitt hit back over what he called lies, rumour, ill-informed baseless allegations . Cllr Miller said: We are concerned that the city’s administration has been talking down and targeting the city’s £886 million tourism industry with a series of ill-advised policies this year.
Joe Miller will present the plans tonight “Over the last 12 months Labour and the Greens have closed Madeira Drive, creating problems for local businesses, while also repeatedly throwing the future of the city’s historic motoring events into question, with one Green councillor comparing them to the 100 Years’ War.
