Price Increase - 1st of April 2025

Lune Valley Swimming Pool is continuing to welcome many swimmers from the local community and further afield.

However, we ran at an operational loss in 2024 (due to reduction in some school swimming, increased insurance, broken chemical dosing system (£10,500) and our pool building improvement works). This was minimised by fundraising and grants, but not completely covered. In addition to this the National Living Wage will be increasing from 1st April.

Our extensive investment work at the pool last summer significantly reduced our utility bills, however the gas price trebled at the end of the 2024, which has meant that those savings have been effectively cancelled out. Our utility bill for December was £3000! We expect the solar panels to help reduce the bills once we get longer sunnier days.

So in order to continue to provide safe, high quality swimming opportunities for you into the future, we have no option but to increase prices to ensure the pool is financially stable. The new prices will come into effect from 1st April 2025

We continue to look at all aspects of the running of the pool to identify where we can be more efficient, in order that we can keep our admission prices as affordable as possible. We will be fundraising this year to replace the pool cover, lag all the pipework and install some more efficient motors on equipment in the pool plant room, with the aim of reducing our running costs further.

Swimming lessons/Rookies/Hammerheads/Aquafit and Gentle Water workout - the new prices will be applied at the next renewal of a block.

For those that have purchased the 12 4 10 swimming cards, these will be honoured at the current price until you have used up your swims.

Trustees and the team at the pool would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and we look forward to welcoming you for your swims in 2025 and beyond. If you have any fundraising ideas or know of any grants we could apply to, then please do get in touch.
