There’s some gas work happening at the pool on Thursday evening, which may affect our showers.

But don’t panic… we’ve been here before. 😂

Ahhh, glorious memories of our lovely, refreshing, character-building cold showers.

Hopefully it’ll be short-lived - but consider this your warning!

The Jubileeathon is a bit different this year. There are special sessions available for our swimmers and the gym users can get involved too.

This is our biggest fundraiser so choose your team, buy your ticket and get sponsored to help keep our community pool afloat.

Use code GOLD20 for 20% reduction but be quick as these are limited and selling fast.

It really is a gloriously fun event 💙

THE BATON HAS BEEN PASSED… AND GEORGE IS STEPPING UP!

Sadly, due to illness in his family, Chris Duncan has had to step down from taking on the Brutal Duathlon. We’re sending Chris and his family all our very best wishes at what must be a difficult time.

But the challenge isn’t over.

Stepping forward to take Chris’s place is George — lifeguard and swimming teacher at Jubilee Pool.

Usually you’ll find George poolside, keeping swimmers safe and teaching others in the water. Now he’s swapping the pool for one tough challenge raising money to keep our pool afloat.

The Seriously Brutal Duathlon:
• 15-mile run - three laps around the lake
• 116-mile road cycle - four extremely hilly laps, including the climb over Pen y Pass
• 9-mile mountain run/climb - all the way up and back down Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon)

Around 140 miles in total

George agreed to take Chris's place with only 19 days to prepare

Every donation, no matter the size, will help — and every share will spread the word even further.

Huge shout out to these two powerhouses, Lin and Jerry.

Hooks have been installed to keep the lane ropes and inflatable hose neat and tidy. They’ve also rehung the back doors, giving us access again after storms two years ago blew them off and they were screwed shut.

They donate their time and expertise to our beloved pool for free, and we love them for it. 💙
