DEANS HIGH SCHOOL TEMPORARY POOL CLOSURE

The movable pool floor at Deans High School has been out of use for some time due to a mechanical fault. We’ve been working closely with our partners at West Lothian Council and specialist maintenance contractors to arrange the necessary repairs.

We can now confirm that repair work is scheduled to begin on Tuesday 10th March, and is expected to take approximately three weeks to complete. During this period, the pool will be temporarily closed.

To minimise disruption, all Aqua classes and Learn to Swim lessons will be relocated while repairs take place. Please see below for full details of the temporary arrangements.

As it stands, these changes will remain in place until Wednesday 1st April. If we’re able to reopen the pool sooner than this however, we’ll post an update on our website and social channels, as well as contacting all affected lesson participants and class bookings direct with details.
