Golden Square Pool has been community run since 2013. There’s no big operator behind us, just neighbours, local businesses and a team of passionate lifeguards keeping the water blue and the gates open. You can be part of it.
Volunteer: give a couple of hours a week and join the GSP family.
Sponsor: put your business behind your local pool.
Work with us: join our paid lifeguard and team leader crew.
Since 2013, Golden Square Pool has been run entirely by volunteers. We’re welcoming, inclusive and a lot of fun, and we have over 100 volunteers of all ages and from all walks of life.
Want to be part of something special that helps your local community? We’d love to have you.
