In a recent press release, Rother District Council and Freedom Leisure, who have been working tirelessly to find a way to reopen Rye Swimming Pool, announced the pool reopening date: October 2nd 2023.
According to the press release, "Freedom Leisure will focus on offering as wide a range of service as possible from the start. However, opening hours and sessions offered may be different from before the closure due to ongoing issues with costs and recruitment. It is anticipated that Freedom Leisure will seek to increase the initial offering as use of the pool by the local community increases."
"Cllr Hazel Timpe, the district council’s portfolio holder for neighbourhood services and tourism, said: “We are delighted that, after almost a year, people will soon be able to use their local pool again, and are pleased that Freedom Leisure is doing everything it can to offer as much access as possible. I’d also like to thank Cllrs Simon McGurk and Cheryl Creaser for their support.It is vital that people now show their support and use the facility to ensure that its future is viable.”"
Information on the pool opening will be published at www.freedom-leisure.co.uk/rye as soon as times are confirmed.
