Andover's temporary pool opened today
Temporary pool is open
The temporary swimming pool for Andover opened to the public at 12 midday today (Friday 20 October 2017)
Leisure Portfolio Holder, Councillor Tony Ward said: “I am delighted that the temporary pool is open and that residents will be able to enjoy swimming again. I have watched the facility take shape over the last few months and feel the word “temporary” belies the end product. I wanted to ensure people were still able to benefit from the use of a high standard first-class pool while the new ALC is being built and so I am really glad it is now in place and open for use.
“Although there were delays in the timetable, which were very frustrating for everyone, I hope that residents will now take full advantage of having this facility available until the new swimming pool opens in Spring 2019. “
The 25 metre, four lane modular pool at Shepherds Spring Lane car park has been designed and built by Total Swimming and is being managed by Places for People Leisure.https://www.placesforpeopleleisure.org/centres/andover-leisure-centre/news/temporary-pool-news-updates/
