Although we were pushing to get the pool back and open with continual maintenance, we have had to keep the pool closed as a precautionary level. Therefore unfortunately the swimming pool will remain closed until Thursday 28th March. We hope to have to pool open again on Friday 29th March but will update you all accordingly. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Unfortunately the swimming pool has been closed today and will remain closed on both Wednesday & Thursday. We will update you on Thursday afternoon as to whether the pool will be open for Friday and the weekend.

We have had to close the swimming pool this evening due to low chemical levels. We are working hard to rectify this problem and will post an update when we know more

Unfortunately the swimming pool is CLOSED today Tuesday 22nd January 2019, so there will be no clubs, or public swim tonight.
There has been a fault in the system which has pushed the temperature out of the safe operating range. An engineer has been out to site today as a matter of urgency, and the works have had a positive response. We are hopeful the temperature will be back in range by tomorrow, but we will keep you updated.
... Apologies for any inconvenience
