Jubilee Park pool aims tocash in on a record year

However, staff at the complex are determined not to rest on their laurels.

They have confirmed the heated pool will be open for longer than ever in 2017 - whatever the weather!

The pool will open on April 14 and close on October 1.

Park manager Joe Stanhope said: “Whatever the weather, the water will be warm and we have heated changing rooms and hot showers,”

The park has also launched a new scheme featuring swim gift vouchers, which they say will make a fun and healthy alternative Christmas present.

Vouchers start at £5, while season tickets and books of 10 or 20 swims can also be purchased.

The community run park and pool is a registered charity with no public funding and is committed to improving the health and wellbeing of the area - as well as offering sporting and leisure facilities.

Mr Stanhope added: “Swimming is one of the healthiest all round forms of exercise . Buying our vouchers and swimming tickets will not only help the park, it will encourage family and friends to get into the swimming habit.”

Anyone purchasing a season ticket before April can pay in instalments. Gift vouchers will be on sale on the Jubilee Park stand at the Christmas Market on December 9.
