Pool Manager Phil and his team are getting the pool ready for our earlier opening on the 13th of April. We’re also planning to extend the autumn season to the end of November again this year, as it proved really popular with those of you who like to brave the cold!
This year, our team of three have been busy getting the pool ready through the winter, so although there may be one or two jobs to help with - instead of our normal Volunteers Day, we would like to invite you to a ‘Pells Community Catch-up’ on the 30th March 2024 from 10am – 1pm. On this date the booking system will also open for the first two weeks of the season.
So pop in for a cup of tea or coffee and a slice of cake and catch up with the team and with fellow Pells swimmers, to plan your swimming season and to be the first to see some of our wonderful new Pells merchandise. The website has been updated with our opening times and prices for the season.
We’ll be holding a number of special events, including our Midnight Swims, our Summer Solstice Swim and our end of summer season Swim-Along. Keep an eye out for announcements on the Pells website and social media, to find out when you can book tickets for these really popular events. You can also book the Pells for private parties; please drop by at the pool and speak to the team, or get in touch via the website, to find out more.
Our Deputy Pool Manager, Leanne, will also be running swimming lessons for kids and adults in the summer, and there will be yoga sessions held every week next to the paddling pool.
We’re delighted that, this year, we’ll be able to offer more swims for wellbeing through our collaboration with Foundry Healthcare, plus funding from Enjoolata Trust.
We’re really looking forward to welcoming you back in April.
