Atlantis Reopens: Swimming Pools Update

We’re so grateful for our community’s continued patience and understanding as we gradually reopen the different facilities that make up Atlantis. We appreciate it’s frustrating that not everything can open at once and we know that the reopening of our swimming pools is eagerly awaited.

Maintenance and Repair
The swimming pool requires the most amount of care and monitoring of all our facilities. Problems come when an area that is normally wet and humid dries out. As a result we have had to renew the walls and shower fittings of our wet-side changing and have started essential flooring works. The works are an important step towards us being able to honour the community fundraising raised over recent years. It’s an involved project that uncovers additional complications as it progresses – one example is the ceramic tiling around our small pool requiring comprehensive repair and renewal which will delay the full reopening of our pool further.

These particular works can only be undertaken by specialist pool contractors whose staff availability have been just as affected by furlough and lockdown as our own.

Reopening
We’ve set a proposed date to reopen the swimming pool of the 1st of October. This is an indicative date that is subject to change depending on the release of updated government guidance as well as the progress of our maintenance and flooring works.

As we continue in our phased reopening of Atlantis, our priority remains keeping everybody safe. We need your help in doing this and are relying on everyone doing their bit to protect each other. Thank you for ongoing support and cooperation.
