Swimming News - the pools close from Monday 6 October

Dear Members,
Please be advised that the club’s swimming pools will be closed from Monday, 6 October, for the winter season.
This annual closure during the cold season helps protect the facilities from harsh weather conditions and allows us to carry out essential maintenance work — including the installation of new "margelles" in the coming weeks.
We hope you enjoyed this summer season with our newly renovated pool, and we look forward to welcoming you back next spring.
Thank you for your understanding. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
The Management Committee
