The Kintyre Forum

Was there any announcement about the swimming pool at the Aqualibrium closing this week? We have visitors who drove all the way into Campbeltown to find out it is closed for the week!!

Poster were in it last week saying it was close all this week, never seen it anywhere else though.

Why is it closed? Any reason given?

Leak(s) - we are led to believe.

Normally someone from the Aqualibrium posts on here so surprised no-one did and nothing in the Council website either.

The swimming pool is due to re-open on Saturday.
Kintyre Amateur Swim Club have a Gala arranged with Islay and Jura Dolphins on Sunday so here is hoping everything goes to plan.

This is a perfect example of the disregard the Council has for the public. Surely the closure of a key facility in Campbeltown was planned? Therefore notification could be given to the public?

I can think of one very good way the public could have been informed.

Hoot wey ?

I think you gottit!

Your too long in the tooth tae be risin tae thet fly ! !

Thankfully the pool was open today and some of the kids got a training session in before tomorrow's big day!! Lots of stories going around about the extent of the leak though!! Can anybody put our minds at ease that the swimming pool will not be closed for an extended period?? Hopefully this is just a good old rumour!!

The pool was closed due to sub floor drains to be fitted and to do this required the pool area to be dug up to allow fitting. The water leaking was not coming from the pool but water that filters through the tiles and poolside drainage and collects on the sub floor and manages to leak through the joints in the concrete that forms the ceilling/floors.

so is aqualibrium saying that it has taken all this time to discover where the leaks have been coming from? Or the fact that it took 2 ceilings to come down before they did anything!! The leaks were that bad I know homestart had to relocate, because it was so unsafe.

That doesn't sound too good, anyone know if has been or who passed it as safe??
