Children's Swimming Pool At Medina Leisure Centre Reopens After Pipework Repairs

The children's swimming pool at Medina Leisure Centre has reopened after work to fix a cracked pipe was completed.

It was 44-years-old and the only original pipework left in the building.

Repairs were needed following a burst.

Workers had to tackle 30°C temperatures in a three foot underground tunnel.

Taking to Facebook, 1Leisure, which runs the pool, said:

"Thank you for your patience while we worked to fix the cracked pipe in the small swimming pool at Medina. 

"We are happy to announce our work is now complete and the small pool is open!"

The first casual swim session to return was on Saturday (5).
