Dont know if it is true John, only posting from a usually reliable source. Perhaps the council will let us know the actual prices. Will be only be too happy to be proved wrong. As I said earlier the admission costs must have been discussed and agreed by this late stage. In the interests of good marketing and publicity why are we not being informed?

Understand that the Aqualibrium has not been handed over to the Council yet and prices, timetables are still in the process of being agreed.

Furthermore, due to the delay, the opening of the pool will now be the 17th June - the day after Jack McConnell officially opens it.

I think the prices are a bit on the high side £5.00 for 45 minutes by the time you get changed and showered before going into the pool it is hardly worth going in.

My local pool is only £2.45 and that for an unlimited time.

Surely the pool will not follow in Campbeltown tradition and shut at 5pm.
What about people who work 9 - 5 and want to take their kids or use the pool themselves after 5pm.
Lochgilphead charge £8 for a childs monthly pass and £13 for adult for unlimited swims.

Prices seem high so we will have to wait and see what the pool timetable and prices will be.

£5 for 45 minutes, looks like a good way to start mass hysteria... just about everywhere down in this area charges £2.50/£3 for an hour and a half(minimum) session... Although I believe the aqualibrium is going to shut on Wednesday afternoons.

If the pool closes on a Wednesday ,where will all the shop workers go for their half day off?
£5.00 does seem steep for 45mins. Probably better value to hire 2 dvd's from Kellars.

Pop took his funny pill today!!!!!!!!! LOL!!!!!!!

However, all that aside. If you have two or three weans, at a fiver each for 45 freaking minutes.

That is just bloody ludicrous!

Heard today from the Aqualibrium that prices etc have not yet been agreed.

As you say...just a rumour.
