You did it! With your incredible support we have reached our target and the pool works were completed by the end of August. The first lessons in the new pool will start tomorrow (September 15th)!
With the additional support of local businesses and national bodies, we have raised nearly £60,000 which has enabled us to completely upgrade the pool itself, re-decorate the pool area and will allow us to upgrade the changing areas in the coming weeks. To raise this funding in a short time is a phenomenal achievement – thank you so much for your part in it. We feel the success of the campaign indicates the need for this community resource, and perhaps even the love many people have for it and the memories it stirs – of all those swimming lessons and the fun and progress that went with them.
We can now commit to the pool remaining a vital community resource – and we will soon be back up to our 750 weekly users from the school and the surrounding community, supported by their swimming teachers, trainee helpers, and volunteers.
