Ribblesdale Pool is to close in April to allow an essential multi-million pound refurbishment to go ahead to extend the life of the building.

The extensive work will extend the pool's life by up to 15 years; without it the pool would be in danger of closing for good, a report to councillors warned.

The council-owned pool will close to the public between April and October 2026 to allow the improvements to be carried out.

Councillors agreed to go ahead with works to renew and improve the pool’s aging mechanical and electrical systems earlier this year. Additional funding to replace the pool lining and the building’s roof has also been agreed, subject to approval of the overall council budget for 2026/27 which will be decided by a meeting of the full council on 3 March 2026.

A council report said that following extensive surveys of the building, not carrying out the extra work would be a further risk to the longevity of the pool.

Ribblesdale Pool was built 53 years ago and has already lasted longer than the expected “lifespan” of 35-40 years for a facility of its type. The pool faces an ever-increasing risk of failure as parts and infrastructure wear out.

Funding of £3 million has been set aside from the council’s capital programme to cover the electrical and mechanical works. An additional £1.24 million to cover the lining and roof works has been included in the 2026/27 budget proposals.

The council’s director of community services Adam Allen said: “This work will extend the life of the pool by 15 years and allow the next generation of young swimmers to enjoy its facilities. The alternative is that it would need to close in the next few years.

“Much of the work will be on the engineering systems that are hidden away behind the scenes and once it re-opens people probably won’t notice an obvious difference. However, without updating the essential mechanical and electrical systems the pool would be at significant risk of closure due to the failing systems in the building and its aging infrastructure.”

The council will continue to work with local swimming clubs and other users to find alternative arrangements while the pool is closed.
