At the heart of Sea Lanes is a 50m, 6 lane accessible outdoor swimming pool, operated by South Downs Leisure. The pool is supported by 19 local fitness, health and wellbeing, food, and beverage businesses.
Previously, Brighton had just 44% of Sport England’s recommended swimming pool provision in ageing facilities, Sea Lanes met this need.
Sea Lanes Brighton is an integral part of the Brighton and Hove community, made up of businesses and individuals that are passionate about open water swimming.
They include Brighton based swim coach Andy White, Copsemill Properties, QED Sustainable Urban Developments and SwimTrek.
Our mission has always been to create a place that supports healthier, happier lives, not just through swimming, but through community, sustainability, and genuine social impact.
Our 2025 Impact Report highlights everything we’ve achieved over the past year: from cutting our carbon footprint and reducing single-use plastics, to creating rare coastal habitats, supporting charities, delivering community programmes, and helping people of all ages build confidence in and around the water.
