Jesus Green Swimming Pool

Unusually, the pool is significantly longer than it is wide — this was a design idea to mimic swimming in the nearby river.

[5] Located alongside the River Cam opposite Chesterton Road between Jesus Lock and Victoria Avenue Bridge, the pool has sunbathing space and is paved on one side with grass on the other.

[citation needed] The pool still retains most of its original features and remains of interest from a historical point of view.

[4] There is a much smaller outdoor pool upstream of the city centre at Sheep's Green, and swimming in the Cam remains popular near Grantchester.

A short film titled "Jesus Green Pool" was produced in 2004 by amateur director Chris Cox.
