We’re so excited to share that the Pride Big Swim is back for 2025 – and it’s bigger and better than ever!
Join us this summer as we take over the beautiful Hinksey Outdoor Heated Pool for two hours of inclusive, Pride-themed picnic and paddling fun. This family-friendly event is open to all members and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you’re diving in, wading gently, or simply soaking up the vibes poolside, everyone is welcome in this safe, affirming space.
Why join us?
We know public pools can sometimes feel uncomfortable or unwelcoming – that’s why these sessions are designed especially for LGBTQIA+ folks and allies to feel completely comfortable, celebrated, and safe. And thanks to your feedback, we’ve introduced different days of the week to help more people attend – so there’s never been a better time to take the plunge!
A huge thank you to Oxford City Council for making these sessions possible.
We can’t wait to see you in the water – whether it’s for one session or all of them. Let’s make a splash together this summer!
