Swimming pool reopens

Celebrations as pool reopens

It was time to get in the swim as South Molton’s pool opened it’s doors under new ownership for the first time on April 7th.

A VIP reception marked the start of a new era as the team from SMART Swim Centre (right) took the plunge with their new venture.

Public swimming sessions are being offered alongside tailored lessons and group activities like ‘Baby Splash’ and ‘AquaZumba’, and a soft play area.

South Molton’s Mayor Stephen Lock told Molton Monthly, “There is a varied programme set out, that hopefully will fulfil the swimming needs of the people of the town and the surrounding area. I ask that the people of South Molton and the wider district fully support our local pool.”

Locals flocked to the pool over the Easter weekend to take advantage of a free open day, and to take a look at the improved facilities (see advert on front cover).
