Plans to close four high school swimming pools across Falkirk district have been met with disbelief and anger from people who use the facilities.
In November, Falkirk Council announced the plans to close the pools in Larbert High, Falkirk High, Grangemouth and Graeme High Schools as part of its strategic property review that will see 133 buildings close or transfer out of council ownership over the next three years.
But parents, coaches and pupils say the council has chosen the "nuclear option" before any proper consultation and argue that the loss will be huge.
