Upcoming pool improvements

We are going to be redecorating the pool and installing new boilers at SWFLC, meaning the pool will be closed and showers will be unavailable for a time. Work starts on Monday 4 November and is planned to finish by Saturday 21 December 2024. You can read more about the SWFLC improvement works and what it means for you. We apologise for any inconvenience.
