Official Opening

The Pells Pool will be opened this year on 23 May at 12.00noon by Rosalinda Hardiman, a Paralympic swimmer, who lives in Portsmouth. As well as taking part in the Paralympic Games at Sydney in 2000, Ms Hardiman last year almost swam the Channel, being beaten by changed conditions just 700 metres from the shore. In opening the Pool, Rosalinda will inaugurate the Pells Pool’s disabled changing facilities. She will also be the first to use the Pool’s new ramp with special wheelchair that enables disabled swimmers to enter the water. The disabled facilities and equipment at the Pells Pool have been funded by generous grants from the National Lottery’s Awards For All Scheme and Lewes Town Council.
