Directions & Parking
Getting there
Go to Derwent Swim & Fitness Centre on Church Street for the specifically confirmed Ryedale session. Meet the club representative; do not substitute an ordinary public swim booking.
Parking
The club directs visitors to a public car park across the road, behind the Derwent Arms. This is nearby public parking, not an on-site facility; check current restrictions.
Finding the naturist area
A club member escorts first-time visitors on the premises and explains the pool, sauna and changing arrangements.
Where naturism applies
Textile-free use is limited to the club’s hired facilities and session time. Reception, outside areas and other public sessions follow the leisure centre’s normal rules.
- Bring a towel and a £1 coin for the refundable locker.
- Confirm the session directly with Ryedale; the leisure centre’s ordinary Sunday hours do not describe the private club booking.
