Training in Heworth

A historic pool and a run of small studios.

Heworth's best-known venue is Yearsley Swimming Pool, a 50-yard Edwardian pool run by Better on Haley's Terrace. The rest of its list is small and specialist: Ben's Pilates York, One Mindful Yoga, KINESISdance, two tai chi groups and Heworth Martial Arts, with tennis, cricket, golf and amateur rugby league for team sport.

Monk Stray, an open stretch of more than 130 acres on the edge of the village, and the grassland of Heworth Holme give you space to run close to home. A regular lane partner at Yearsley turns an early swim into an appointment you keep.
