Pool to reopen next week at Tooting leisure centre

Swimmers will once again be able to take the plunge at Tooting Leisure Centre next week when the pool reopens following repairs and maintenance work.

The pool is scheduled to reopen on June 1 and swimmers can pre-book their visit by visiting the Places Leisure website.

All activities at the centre must be pre-booked at this time.

The leisure company is promising swimmers a safer and cleaner environment when the pool reopens.

A spokesperson for Places Leisure said: "Now isn't the time for a wasted trip or to be standing in a queue, so we have introduced booking for classes, gym and lane swimming sessions.

"Although it's a little different from simply turning up, it is the best way for you to plan and know with certainty that a place is available.

"It means we can control the footfall in key areas as well as the centre as a whole; we have large centres so this is a key feature of maintaining social distancing.

"Plus, it saves our teams handling cash."
