Swimming in the open air is exhilarating and energizing.
About Us
In 2017 forming the ‘Friends’ was something many of us had thought about for several years; as enthusiastic, even passionate, users of this historic facility, we feel privileged to have such a gem in the midst of our City. We, therefore, aim to do all we can to ensure the pool, its grounds and its facilities are nurtured, developed and utilised – not only for ourselves but for future generations. Our intention is, therefore, to work with Vivacity Management to exchange views and support their work.
