Much Wenlock Swimming Pool Update

The filter replacement work has now been completed, in order to safely re-open the pool we need to allow a further 7 - 10 days for the pool water balance and temperature to return to normal and allow relevant water testing to be completed. Therefore the pool will re-open on Wednesday 20 March for the morning 6am - 8:15am swim. Please see the pool timetable for the planned re-opening timetable for the remainder of that week (20 - 24 March). Swimming lessons will re-start w/c 8 April and those already booked in just need to come along to your normal session. Any new spaces will be made available from w/c 15 April. Should plans change for any reason we will let you know ASAP, otherwise we will look forward to welcoming you all from Wednesday 20 March.

Use of the fitness suite and swimming pool will be via pre-booked slots only. You can book your session by phoning the leisure centre directly on 01952 727 629. All will initially be available to book seven days in advance for a fitness suite and pool and will initially be for a maximum of one hour per member per day.
