New Abbey Fields swimming pools to open this summer
The multi-million-pound Kenilworth development will welcome first visitors in July
New swimming pools at Abbey Fields in Kenilworth will officially open to the public on Saturday 11 July, Warwick District Council and leisure operator Everyone Active have announced.
The new facilities, which include two indoor pools, are part of a multi-million-pound investment by the council aimed at increasing year-round swimming provision for residents in Kenilworth and the wider district.
Alongside the main training pool, the site also features a family pool with a movable floor designed to support a range of water-based activities. Improved accessibility has also been included, with the installation of modern ‘pool-pod’ lift technology to help disabled users access the water more easily.
Visitors to Abbey Fields will also be able to use the centre’s conservatory-style café.
Councillor Jim Sinnott, Warwick District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Safer, Healthier and Active Communities, said: “Having recently been shown round the new building and seen the fantastic features and specification, I really can’t wait to see the new pools finally open for all in our community to enjoy.”
