The swimming pool at Blantyre Leisure Centre is due to open today after being closed because of a floater.
It was closed following an ‘accidental contamination’ on Friday, January 17.
Originally, it was expected to be shut until 6.30am tomorrow (Tuesday, January 21).
A spokesperson for South Lanarkshire Leisure and Culture said: “When this happens we have to close the pool immediately and carry out a strict cleaning regime to ensure any harmful bacteria is removed.
“This is carried out in line with Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group (PWTAG) guidelines.
“Timescale for this can vary based on volume of pool water, turnover and chemical treatment.
“The swimming pool will re-open at 6.30am on Monday morning.
“We apologise for the inconvenience to our customers but public health is our priority.
“Customers can help to reduce closures and keep our pools safe by:
■ Avoid swimming if you feel unwell and especially if you have had vomiting or diarrhoea in the last 14 days.
■ If your children are not fully toilet trained, make sure that they are wearing a well-fitting swim nappy.
■ Encourage young swimmers to use the toilets before they come into the pool. Ensure they leave the pool to use the toilet before it is too late.
■ Use the showers before you enter the pool.
■ If you start to feel unwell during your swim, stop and leave the water.
■ If you do have an accident please let the lifeguards know straight away so it can be dealt with. Don’t put other people at risk.”
