The brand-new facilities comprising two indoor pools are the result of a £multi-million investment by the council to provide additional year-round pool-space for the people of Kenilworth and the wider district.

As well as the main training pool the additional family pool with its movable floor will facilitate a wide variety of water-based sessions as well as enhanced opportunities for disabled people to access the water using the latest ‘pool-pod’ lift technology.

Visitors to the Abbey Fields park will also have full access to the centre’s conservatory style cafe.

Warwick District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Safer, Healthier and Active Communities, Councillor Jim Sinnott commented:

“Having recently been shown round the new building and to have seen the fantastic features and spec, I really can’t wait to see the new pools finally open for all in our community to enjoy.”

Alex Fuoco-Lang, Everyone Active area contract manager added:

“We’re excited to welcome residents to the brilliant new swimming facilities at Abbey Fields this summer. With its modern design, it is the perfect community space to offer our award-winning learn to swim programme in partnership with Warwick District Council and for local people to stay active together.

“We’re delighted to see this project come to life and soon launch our range of activities which are suitable for all ages and abilities to enjoy.”

Details of an opening weekend of events for the local community will follow.
