Pontardawe swimming pool will re-open this week after it was forced to close suddenly in November, 2022, due to the discovery of serious defects.
The swimming pool at the King George V site was originally due to re-open by the end of January, but due to the nature of the work being carried out proving "a little more complicated than initially thought", the main pool will now re-open on Monday, March 6, and a reduced opening timetable will run for the learner pool from the same date. The team at Pontardawe Swimming Pool will contact Learner Pool Academy members via email at a later date regarding swimming lessons re-starting.
The pool was closed immediately on Wednesday, November 30, following an inspection by engineers which found defects in the building relating to a "void" around the training pool and columns under spectator seating. The engineers found that the site, which was built in 1974, required "immediate" repairs.
