We are redecorating the pool and installing new boilers at SWFLC, meaning the pool is closed and showers are currently unavailable. Work started 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.
