Update - July 2026
We know how much London Royal Docks means to so many of you. It's more than just a place to swim - it's where friendships have been made, confidence has grown, personal milestones have been achieved, and countless memories have been created.
That's why we're so pleased to share another positive step forward.
Thanks to the incredible support of the Good Hotel, we've secured a temporary home for swimming on the east side of the hotel.
This weekend marked a major milestone as our brand-new pontoon was successfully installed - the first visible step in bringing London Royal Docks back to life and beginning the next chapter for this much-loved venue.
There's still work to do before we can welcome swimmers back safely. Final construction works are underway, and our team is completing the operational planning, staffing and timetable needed to ensure we reopen in the safe, enjoyable way you've come to expect.
We're getting closer.
Thank you for your patience, encouragement and the many messages of support you've shared throughout this journey. Your passion for this community has never wavered, and neither has ours.
We can't wait to welcome you back to the docks. We'll provide another update as soon as we have more news to share.
