Sport England is the body responsible for making investment decisions on grassroots sports facilities in England and, through its Strategic Facilities Fund, provides capital investment into a range of sport facilities.
From 2011 to 2016 Sport England’s Improvement and Strategic Facilities Funds invested £73m in projects across England, incorporating 91 swimming facilities. Of these 91 facilities, 2 were outdoor lidos with the rest indoor pools. Sport England is currently investing £25m from the Strategic Facilities Fund to construct 21 new leisure facilities which include swimming pools. Sport England's Community Asset Fund – which provides grants that can also be used for facilities improvement – has made £400,000 worth of investment in 5 swimming pool projects since it was launched in February 2017.
