A century old swimming club has reopened after a £600k refurbishment.

Brinscall Pool, in Chorley, is now back open to the public following repairs to the pool structure and an upgrade of the poolside facilities and changing areas.

The phased re-opening of the pool will see instructor led sessions including school swimming, learn to swim programmes, clubs and aqua aerobics return initially with public lane swim, aqua and family swim available in October half-term.

The pool and poolside have both been retiled including replacement steps into the pool, the cubicles have been refreshed, there are brand new shower and WC facilities alongside new LED lighting and Air Handling Units which have been installed. The entrance and reception area have also been refurbished.

Councillor Bev Murray, executive cabinet member for early intervention said: “We are committed to ensuring that everyone in Chorley can have access to quality and affordable leisure facilities.

“In a climate where other local authorities are choosing to close their facilities, we are proud to have been able to make significant investments into the historic landmark ensuring it can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.”
