The main pool at the Paradise Pool complex is to close over the Christmas holidays for essential maintenance work.

While the teaching pool will remain open, the main pool will be closed to the public from Monday 22 December until it reopens on Friday 2 January 2015.

Allison Conder, Principal Officer from Community Services at East Cambridgeshire District Council, said: “We are really sorry to close the main pool at the Paradise Pool complex over the festive holidays but as it is a relatively quiet time for the facility we felt it was the right moment to carry out the essential maintenance work. In the meantime, the teaching pool will remain open throughout the holidays for any families who wish to go for a swim.”

The maintenance work will involve the essential refurbishment of the sand based filters to enable the pool to maintain very high standards of water quality.
