Manchester Male Naturist Swim — Arcadia
Levenshulme, Manchester, Greater Manchester, England
A weekly men-only naturist swim uses Arcadia’s separate seventeen-metre Pool 2 in Levenshulme. Private changing facilities and screening from the main pool support the group’s relaxed Thursday evening hire.
Nudity policy
Men-only nude swim; adults only
This private hire is a nude swim and is not clothing optional. It is restricted to adults aged 18 and over under the organiser’s men-only eligibility policy.
Lifeguards remain clothed. The organiser publishes additional gender eligibility restrictions in its FAQ; review those before attending.
Facilities
- Pool: The naturist hire uses the separate 17-metre Pool 2, not the main pool.
- Showers: Pool 2 has its own showers, toilets, lockers and private cubicles.
- Parking: Free rear car park; the driver must register the vehicle at the entrance console.
Arcadia’s shared sauna and steam room require a separate booking and swimwear, so they are excluded from this naturist listing’s facility filters.
Access & visiting
Visitors may turn up without membership or advance notice, subject to the 30-swimmer capacity. The current price is £7.50 by card or £10 cash. The FAQ states that the swim is not trans inclusive; contact the organisers about its detailed eligibility wording.

The organiser’s men-only nude private hire is restricted to adults aged 18 and over.
