Swimming facilities will return to Plymouth Life Centre on Monday 17 May, coinciding with the Government’s roadmap that all indoor adult sports and activities can resume for groups of up to six individuals or two households.
Balfour Beatty have been working flat out to complete the remaining works in swimming and diving areas, despite a delay to the initial reopening date, due to the requirement to overhaul existing poolside lighting and COVID-19 restrictions.
Once complete, visitors will have access to upgraded changing facilities; including new lockers, cubicles, flooring, lighting and refinished walls.
Members of the centre have been back onsite since 12 April, accessing the gym and other facilities, in line with the national reopening of indoor leisure. Additionally, indoor bowls will be available from 23 April and squash courts from 24 April.
Courtesy of arrangements made by Balfour Beatty, members of Plymouth Life Centre will be provided free access to outdoor swimming at Tinside Lido when it reopens on 1 May. The free access at Tinside will extend until swimming is returned to Plymouth Life Centre on 17 May.
As per the works programme, the diving pool is expected to be complete in the summer, following a complete re-render and re-tile of the pool walls.
Everyone Active are notifying its members directly to inform them of any impact to their memberships.
