If maintenance takes longer than expected the Swimming Club will be cancelled for further week, but sessions may be
arranged at other pools.
The workmen return this weekend to determine whether the pool can be re-opened. They have partially filled the pool to perform a five day test. If the news
is positive the Club will be back sooner rather than later. If the news is bad we will be trying to find an alternative venue.
The date of the first Club session in September will be displayed on this website, once we have been informed by the
Leisure Centre staff.
