Falkirk swimming pool closed 'due to chemical shortage'

A Falkirk swimming pool has been closed to the public due to a shortage of a chemical needed to ensure water quality.

The leisure pool at the Mariner Centre in Camelon will be shut for a few days, according to the Falkirk Community Trust.

However, it is hoped that the swimming pool will be able to reopen towards the end of this week after the chemical is sourced.

The Trust said: We are sorry to inform our customers that the leisure pool at the Mariner Centre will be closed for a few days; this is due to a UK-wide shortage of a specific chemical needed in swimming pools to ensure the pool water quality.

"Our supplier is doing everything they can and as quickly as they can to source this chemical. We hope that we will be able to reopen towards the end of this week.

"Thank you for your patience as we attempt to resolve this supply issue that appears to affect other areas of life in general."

The rest of the facilities at the Mariner Centre remain open and those who want to use the pools are being advised to access Grangemouth Sports Complex and Bo’ness Recreation Centre.

Updates will be available throughout the week on the Falkirk Community Trust website and their social media channels.
