New Pool Hoist
We would like to thank Dumfries & Galloway Council’s Coastal Benefit Fund and Friends of Kirkcudbright Swimming Pool for their generous support which enabled our purchase of a new Handimove 3200 Pool Hoist and Chair.
The hoist and chair have a safe working load of 135kg / 21 stones.
Early opening on Wednesdays
Early opening from next Wednesday, 5th November.
We have listened, and will be trialling an early opening for all you early risers looking to exercise before work!
We are opening at 6am on Wednesday mornings.
This will carry on until we close for Christmas, and resume in the new year.
Coffee Morning on Monday 4th August
We’re honoured to be supported by this year’s Arts & Crafts Trail. We’re holding a Coffee Morning on Monday 4th August from 10am to 12 noon.
Plantroom Maintenance
We regret having had to close the pool at short notice over recent weeks.
There is maintenance work ongoing to upgrade our pool plant system and occasionally we are experiencing some ‘teething’ problems.
We would ask for your patience as we continue with the upgrade; we are trying to keep disruption to a minimum and aplogise for any inconvenience caused.
