The Trustees are progressing with plans to build a new Lonsdale pool to replace the existing one.  Discussions are being held ith the City Council and with other local organisations and institutions.  If you would be able to help us with this project then please get in touch via enquiries@lonsdalepooltrust.org.uk.

We apologise to our customers that the pool has had to be closed in the last few days, we have tried to let everyone affected know. We had a pump electrical failure caused by 3 recent electricity supply interruptions followed by a valve failure on the backup system which has prevented water circulation. Our maintenance contractors have rectified those problems but a separate problem possibly caused by the pressure surges as pumps start and stop during repairs and restarts has caused a flood of the plant room which affected electrical equipment. We are currently drying equipment out and hope to be operational later today, Saturday 26th March. If Sunday 25th Sessions are affected we will contact users.
