Temporary changing room and swimming pool closure as redecoration works continue at Lime Kiln Leisure Centre

As the next phase of redecoration works get underway at Lime Kiln Leisure Centre in Royal Wootton Bassett, the pool changing rooms and swimming pool will temporarily close. 

Following the decoration works to the main entrance corridor and downstairs studio, completed during phase one, the second phase will involve a complete refurbishment of the swimming pool changing rooms, plus a revamp of the poolside surrounding flooring. All works are scheduled for completion by the end of July 2024. 

The changing rooms are scheduled to be closed from 17 June for approximately six-weeks to allow for the refurbishment. Customers will be advised to arrive at the centre swim ready, similar to the pandemic restrictions around swimming, and have a dry-robe or similar available to leave the centre after their swim. 

A two-week swimming pool closure will take place between 24 June to 7 July. This will allow for the new flooring to be laid and for the pool hall to be redecorated. Customers will be able to access alternative swimming provision at one of the other council-run swimming pools during the closure. 

Cllr Ian Blair-Pilling, Cabinet Member for Leisure, said: It's great that the works at Lime Kiln Leisure Centre are progressing well, and the refreshed areas are already providing a much more welcoming environment and experience for our customers.

We now look forward to the swimming pool changing room works getting underway next month. Although this phase will involve some closures to the changing rooms and pool areas, we hope that our customers will understand the importance and benefits of these works.

We are investing in our leisure centres in this way because we want to provide residents with well maintained and fit-for-purpose facilities to try and encourage more people to participate in sporting activities and keep physically, socially and mentally active.
