Shame to have seen this place close, used to come here everyweek and learnt to swim in these pools. I remember being so chuffed that i was allowed out the baby pool and into the main pool only to find the main pool was ice cold in comparison!

A lot of local oppositstion to closure, including a 3000 strong march down the prom - but it didn't help. It closed on July 31st.

Lovely find, great that you have a bit of peronal history with it too. It must feel really weird walking in a swimming pool without any water in it?
 
it did feel weird yeah, i was sat toward the deep end - and could remember diving in off the side to collect rubber bricks off the bottom near where i was sat.
 
Brilliant! What a well looked after pool! Nice to see somewhere you once learned to swim. I've got my eye on the old pool I learned in, but I doubt it's still in this kind of condition. Nice work:)
 
what like thats a supprise a developer whats it(the land):)
