It is a testament to the Galleon's long-standing legacy that some users of the leisure centre have known the staff longer than they've known their families.
Recently described as the 'beating heart' of Kilmarnock, it's no wonder that the centre this month marks 35 years since its doors opened for the first time.
Since May 15, 1987, the centre has been part of the fabric of the town employing thousands of locals over that time with more than half-a-million going through the doors each year.
