MAKING A SPLASH AT AQUALIBRIUM

Staff at Aqualibrium have recorded a take up of more than 20,000 swimming sessions in the first six weeks of operation.

3,500 visitors took advantage of the four public open days in June to look around Campbeltown’s newest attraction, and nearly 500 have signed up for a membership package.
Councillor Alastair McKinlay, Chair of the Mid Argyll Kintyre and Islay Area Committee said, “People in Campbeltown have waited patiently for this new centre to open, and have not been disappointed. It really is an asset to the town and I am not surprised that so many have been quick to take advantage of all that it has to offer.

“The new library has seen a huge increase in use – over 50% in June and July – with 677 new members to date, and the bistro is catering for around 130 customers each day.

“And with the number of people using the pool and the gym, Campbeltown must be home to a much fitter population already.”

Aqualibrium Manager, Marius Huysamer, said, “The staff here are delighted that so many people are using the facilities at Aqualibrium – even if it does mean that they are kept very busy.

“Of course there have been the inevitable teething problems, but I’m sure that they are now behind us.”

As well as the pool, library, gym and bistro, Aqualibrium offers facilities for meetings, conferences and courses, provides a venue for birthday parties and a laundry for visiting yachtsmen.
