This is an annotated list of swimming pools in the United Kingdom which conform to the Olympic standard.
At the start of the 21st century, the provision of 50-metre swimming pools in the United Kingdom was very poor for a developed country.
Few universities possessed 50-metre pools, and there was a marked reluctance on the part of municipal authorities to build new public long-course facilities.
However, the successful bid to hold the 2012 Summer Olympics in London added impetus to the development of new pools.
A number of new venues were completed before and after the Games, although some existing pools were demolished and not replaced by 50-metre facilities.
